Inertia is an intrinsic property of matter; thus mass=inertia. The well-known formula you might remember from your high school physical science class: F = ma, which equates force with mass times acceleration, can just as validly and as accurately be rendered as: F = ia, which equates force with inertia times acceleration. Pretty cool, actually!

However if the object is at rest, the increase of the mass will have no effect on its resting kinetic energy, which is zero.

As an object falls towards the ground what happen to the kinetic energy of the object?
Increases
What happens to an object's kinetic energy when its speed doubles?
-It increases
What happens the the kinetic energy of a falling object?
If the object's falling energy increases (this would happen if the object is already falling downward, and air resistance is small), then the kinetic energy will increase.
How is the gravitational potential energy stored in an object converted into kinetic energy?
Gravity pulls the object and its velocity increases. The kinetic energy of a moving object is 1/2*m*v2
What happens to it object as it's Kinetic Energy increases?
its particles move faster
What increases as the speed of an object increases?
the kinetic energy of the object
Why is heat energy linked with kinetic energy?
It is linked because heat is the total potential and kinetic energy of an object, so as kinetic energy increases, heat increases.
Describe the change in kinetic energy when the temperature of an object increases?
The more an objects kinetic energy increases the more it's temperature increases. An object that is traveling at 30 miles per hour will have a higher temperature than an object traveling at 10 miles per hour. This is in part due to friction. Mostly however, it is due to the fact that kinetic energy excites atoms in the object raising the objects temperature. You could put it like this: temperature = energy + atoms. Hope this helps.
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.
As an object falls towards the ground what happen to the kinetic energy of the object?
Increases
When the particles of an object move the thermal energy increases?
No, when the temperature of an object increases its motion also increases because when temperature increases kinetic energy increases and thus the motion increases.
What happens to an object's kinetic energy when its speed doubles?
-It increases
When thermal energy of an object increases do the particles stop moving?
No, when the temperature of an object increases its motion also increases because when temperature increases kinetic energy increases and thus the motion increases.
What happens to the kinetic energy when an object moves faster?
it gets greater because the greater the mass the greater kinetic energy
What happens the the kinetic energy of a falling object?
If the object's falling energy increases (this would happen if the object is already falling downward, and air resistance is small), then the kinetic energy will increase.
What happens to an object when it's kinetic energy increases?
It gets faster
What happens to an object as its kinetic energy increases.?
its particles move faster
