The kinetic energy of a falling object is directly proportional to the distance it falls.
But the distance is not directly proportional to the time in fall, so the KE is not directly proportional
to the time either.

If kinetic energy is increased by 60 percent then momentum will be?
Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed; use this fact to calculate the increase in speed (60% increase means an increase by a factor of 1.6). Momentum is proportional to the speed.
What happens to an objects kinetic energy as its mass increases?
kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2 mv^2 that is, it is directly proportional to mass, assuming velocity to be constant and is directly proportional to square of velocity assuming mass to be constant.
What energy or momentum of a vehicle can be offset by allwoing an increase in stopping distance?
kinetic
When the temperature of a substance decreases increases what happens?
The temperature of a substance increases as the mean random kinetic energy of its particles increases. This is because temperature of an object is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of its particles. Thus when the particles move faster as a whole, such as when the object is put near a flame, the object heats up.
Explain the relationship between kinetic energy and the kelvin scale?
The thermal energy of a particle is directly proportional to its thermodynamic temperature (ie. its temperature in Kelvin).
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to?
Kinetic energy should be called vector energy and is directly proportional to velocity, Ekinetic= mcV.
What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
If you double the speed of a car you increase its force of impact by how many times?
four times as great

Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed; use this fact to calculate the increase in speed (60% increase means an increase by a factor of 1.6). Momentum is proportional to the speed.
What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four. If there is a threefold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of nine.
What happens to an objects kinetic energy as its mass increases?
kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2 mv^2 that is, it is directly proportional to mass, assuming velocity to be constant and is directly proportional to square of velocity assuming mass to be constant.
How does kinetic energy increase as a velocity?
KE=(1/2)mv2, therefore, kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.
What is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to according to the kinetic theory?
The kinetic energy of a single gas molecule is not proportional to anything. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to their absolute temperature.
According to the kinetic theory what is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to?
The kinetic energy of a single gas molecule is not proportional to anything. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to their absolute temperature.
What is the kinetic energy of gas molecule proportional to?
Kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to temperature.
Why does a small increase in speed produce a large increase in kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is proportional to (depends upon) the square of the speed (velocity). If the speed is doubled then the KE is increased by a factor of 4 (2 squared).
Would increasing the speed of an object increase or decrease its kinetic enregy?
More speed means more kinetic energy.More specifically, the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. (This is for non-relativistic speeds.)
