Is an increase in kinetic energy directly proportional to the time it takes for an object to fall slash distance it falls?

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 proportionalto the time either.


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 is the kinetic energy of gas molecule proportional to?

Kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to temperature.


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 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.


What will be the effect on kinetic energy by dubbling the mass?

the defining equation for kinetic energy= 1/2 mv2therefore kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass or as kinetic energy increases, mass increases proportionally (and vice versa).therefore if mass is doubled, the kinetic energy is also doubled.


What fraction of the average kinetic energy of hydrogen gas at 100K does hydrogen gas have at 40K?

40% -- it is directly proportional to the energy (in Kelvin)


What is the energy in a photon of light proportional to?

The amount of energy in a photon of light is proportional to the frequency of the corresponding light wave.... frequency of the electromagnetic radiation of which the photon is a particle.


When kinetic energy increases what happens to the mass and velocity?

Kinetic energy of a mass is directly proportional to two variables: its mass and speed. Many mistake kinetic energy as being proportional to mass and velocity; it is, in fact, mass and speed. (With all technicalities aside, the speed is the factor that matters in computing kinetic energy of an object or a mass). Kinetic Energy = 0.5mv2 (m = mass and v = speed of the mass) Therefore, if the speed of the object increases, the kinetic energy increases. If the speed of the object decreases, the kinetic energy decreases. Similarly, if the mass of the object increases while traveling, its kinetic energy increases. If the mass of the object decreases, the kinetic energy decreases. All has to do with the directly proportional relationship between the two variables and the kinetic energy.


How does kinetic energy affect speed?

The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its speed.


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).
