Question
true or false kinetic energy depends only on the speed of a object
Answers

False. Kinetic energy depends on both the mass and the speed of an object. The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is given by:
\[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \]
where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( v \) is its velocity. Thus, both mass and speed play a role in determining the kinetic energy of an object.
\[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \]
