Answer:
See Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Kinetic energy depends on the potential energy of an object but they both have similar factors as they are inter-related. Kinetic energy is the motion of the object depending on its potential.
Potential energy is a positional based value, it literally means what it says, the potential or possibility for the creation of energy.
To demonstrate this think of dropping a ball off of a building:
- The potential energy of that ball will be greater if the ball is dropped from a higher floor than a lower one.
- It will also be greater or lower depending on the mass of the object (from the formula in physics F=ma or Force = mass x acceleration).
- Gravity is another factor. If we drop a ball on Earth and then on the Moon, where the gravitational pull is 1/6th that of the Earth's, of course it will not be the same.
