It’s mass and velocity
3
Q
State the equation for kinetic energy
A
Kinetic energy = 1/2 x m x v^2
4
Q
Define gravitational potential energy
A
The energy of an object due to its position within a gravitational field / the capacity to do work as a result of an objects position in a gravitational field
5
Q
Define kinetic energy
A
The energy of an object due to motion of an object with mass / the energy associated with an object as a result of its motion
