What two factors determine the amount of kinetic energy an object has?

• Temperature and pressure

• Mass and velocity

• Volume and density

• Force and distance

The formula used by scientists to determine the amount of kinetic energy an object has is:

• Kinetic energy = m (mass) x v (speed)

• Kinetic energy = m (mass) x v (speed)^2

• Kinetic energy = m (mass) x v (speed)^2 / 2

• Kinetic energy = 2 x m (mass) x v (speed)
