You can answer that with a glance at the formula for an object's
kinetic energy:
KE = 1/2 M V2Do you see that ' M ' in there ? That says that the KE varies in directproportion to the mass.
What else can I help you with?
What relationship exists between height and potential energy if mass is held constant?
The relationship between height and potential energy is directly proportional when mass is held constant. As an object is raised to a higher height, its potential energy increases. This relationship is given by the equation: potential energy = mass x gravity x height.
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.
Does a rock at the edge of a 200m high cliff has more potential energy than an equal sized rock at the edge of a 600m high cliff?
Yes, the rock at the edge of the 600m high cliff has more potential energy than the rock at the edge of the 200m high cliff. Potential energy is directly proportional to the height, so the higher the cliff, the more potential energy the rock has.
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.
Is it true that slow-moving objects have more kinetic energy then fast moving objects?
Faster particles have more energy than slower particles, yes.
What are 2 ways to increase potential energy?
Increase the height of an object above the ground, as potential energy is directly proportional to height. Increase the mass of an object, as potential energy is also directly proportional to mass.
What 3 things affect gravitational potential energy?
The mass of the object: Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the mass of an object. The height of the object: Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above a reference point, such as the ground. The acceleration due to gravity: Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the acceleration due to gravity at the location where the object is situated.
Electrical potential energy is the energy stored?
in an electric field due to the relative positions of charged objects. It is directly proportional to the amount of charge and the voltage difference between the objects. The formula for electrical potential energy is U = qV, where U is the energy, q is the charge, and V is the voltage.
What relationship exists between height and potential energy if mass is held constant?
The relationship between height and potential energy is directly proportional when mass is held constant. As an object is raised to a higher height, its potential energy increases. This relationship is given by the equation: potential energy = mass x gravity x height.
How do the different forms of potential energy depend on an objects position?
Potential energy of a body with certain mass is proportional to the vertical position of the body with respect to the ground. Potential energy of the string is proportional to second degree of displacement from the point of equilibrium.
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.
How can you increase potential energy of a ball in your hand?
You can increase the potential energy of a ball in your hand by lifting it higher from the ground, as potential energy is directly proportional to height. The higher you lift the ball, the more potential energy it will have.
What happen to potential energy of a body when its height is doubled?
When the height of a body is doubled, its potential energy also doubles. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object in a gravitational field.
Is it the total energy is directly proportional to the objects mass according to Einstein's equation?
No, the TOTAL energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy, kinetic energy, thermal energy, electrical energy and its inherent energy - inherent energy is given by Einstein's famous formula.
As the height of a dropped ball decreases what happens to its potential energy?
As the height of a dropped ball decreases, its potential energy also decreases. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to an object's height - the higher the object, the greater its potential energy.
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.
The higher the object is off the ground the more what it has?
The higher the object is off the ground, the more potential energy it has. Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position or state, and it is directly proportional to the height of the object.
