The kinetic energy depends on both mass and speed. If either mass or speed increase, the kinetic energy will increase as well.

What increases as the speed of an object increases?
the kinetic energy of the object
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.
Is kinetic energy increases as mass increases is that ture?
Kinetic energy for nonrelativistic speeds is 1/2 times mass times speed squared. If ONLY the mass increases, then the kinetic energy will also increase.
Which has more kinetic energy- A small object or a large object moving at the speed of 25 mph?
You don't say what speed the small object has. If both have the same speed then the heavier one will have more kinetic energy.
What is the relationship between weight and kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on the mass of the object and the speed of the object. The equation is: K= (1/2)mv^2, where K=kinetic energy, m=mass, and v=speed of the object.
What increases as the speed of an object increases?
the kinetic energy of the object
What happens to an object's kinetic energy when its speed doubles?
-It increases

How did Einstein explain that the mass of an object increases as speed increases?
because of momentum and kinetic energy
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
What happens to the kinetic energy when an object moves faster?
it gets greater because the greater the mass the greater kinetic energy
Does something have grater speed when it has more potential energy or less?
It can be a little complicated but I'll do my best to explain.Quick Vocab: potential energy - the stored energy in an object because of its position, shape, or condition. Kinetic energy - the energy of an object due to its motion. The more potential energy an object has the more Kinetic energy it will have. Basically when the object is moved the potential energy is released and becomes kinetic energy. As the kinetic energy (speed) increases the Potential energy decreases.So yes, when the potential energy decreases the speed increases.
What makes an object have more kinetic energy?
An object has more kinetic energy when the temperature gets hotter. The particle's speed increase and begin to flow more rapidly. An object has more kinetic energy when the temperature gets hotter. The particle's speed increase and begin to flow more rapidly.
What increase as an objects kinetic energy increases?
Either the mass of the object or the speed of the object. However if the object is at rest, the increase of the mass will have no effect on its resting kinetic energy, which is zero.
What happens to kinetic energy of an object if the velocity is doubled?
If the speed of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples. This is because velocity is squared in the formula for kinetic energy.
Increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?
The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2
What increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?
The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2
