Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of an object's velocity, so the relative amount of kinetic energy depends on the velocities of the objects in question. If one object is moving faster than another, it will have more kinetic energy. The ratio of their kinetic energies will be the square of the ratio of their velocities.
What else can I help you with?
What would the kinetic energy of a rock sitting on the ground be?
Zero. You need to think in terms of "frame of reference" as in what are you comparing the rock to. If you are an observer sitting next to the rock then the kinetic energy of the rock RELATIVE TO YOU is zero - I.E. the rock isn't moving relative to you and thus has no kinetic energy - energy of motion - relative to you. If you are an observer sitting a million miles from earth watching the rock then it is zipping around at 1000 miles per hour as the earth spins on its axis and it has significant kinetic energy RELATIVE TO YOU.

What term is used to describe the amount of motion that an object possess?
The term used to describe the amount of motion that an object possesses is "kinetic energy." This energy is associated with the motion of an object relative to a reference point.
What two factors does the amount of kinetic energy depend on?
The amount of kinetic energy depends on the object's mass and its velocity. Kinetic energy increases with both mass and velocity; the greater the mass or speed of an object, the more kinetic energy it possesses.
In what state does a fixed amount of water have the least amount of kinetic energy?
A fixed amount of water tends to have the least amount of kinetic energy in its solid state, as the molecules are tightly packed and have limited movement. This is why ice has lower kinetic energy compared to liquid water or water vapor.
What is the amount of kinetic energy in a substance?
The amount of kinetic energy in a substance depends on its mass and velocity. The formula to calculate kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the mass, and v is the velocity of the substance.
Are Volume and density are the kinetic energy of and object?
No, kinetic energy of an object depends upon mass and velocity. The amount of kinetic energy of an object in translational motion = 1/2mv2, provided the speed is low relative to the speed of light
As the temperature of a gas decreases what changes occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?
The amount of kinetic energy increases.
As the temperature of a gas decrease what change occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?
The amount of kinetic energy increases.
What sort of energy does a moving cycle contain?
It contains kinetic energy mainly. Potential energy is relative to its position

When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
What is kinetic engrgy?
Energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position is called Kinetic Energy. The amount of kinetic energy of an object in translational motion is equal to one-half the product of its mass m and the square of its velocity v, or KE = 1/2mv2, provided the speed is low relative to the speed of light

Which example best illustrates kinetic energy?
A moving car has kinetic energy as it is in motion. Its speed and mass determine the amount of kinetic energy it possesses.
