1. Mass (m): The more massive an object is, the more kinetic energy it has at a given speed. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass.
2. Velocity (v): The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. This is because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity.
Formula for Kinetic Energy:
The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is:
KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
where:
* KE is kinetic energy (measured in Joules)
* m is mass (measured in kilograms)
* v is velocity (measured in meters per second)
