Answer:


\boxed{\bold { \large { \boxed {KE=(1)/(2) mv^2 \ , \ PE=mgh}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy formula


\displaystyle KE=(1)/(2) mv^2

Potential energy formula


\displaystyle PE=mgh


\displaystyle KE \Rightarrow \sf kinetic \ energy \ (J)


\displaystyle PE \Rightarrow \sf potential \ energy \ (J)


\displaystyle m \Rightarrow \sf mass \ (kg)


\displaystyle v \Rightarrow \sf velocity \ (m/s)


\displaystyle g \Rightarrow \sf acceleration \ of \ gravity\ (m/s^2)


\displaystyle h \Rightarrow \sf height \ (m)
