TCAP Review - ENERGY

What is kinetic energy?

• Energy stored in an object due to its position

• Energy that an object has due to its motion

• Energy that is lost and cannot be recovered

• Energy that only exists in living things

What is the relationship between an object's mass and its kinetic energy?

• As mass increases, kinetic energy decreases

• Mass has no effect on kinetic energy

• As mass increases, kinetic energy increases

• Kinetic energy only depends on speed, not mass
