As mass increases, what happens to the kinetic energy? (1 point)

Kinetic energy increases

Kinetic energy decreases

Kinetic energy stay the same

1 answer

Kinetic energy increases.

Kinetic energy is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity. If the mass increases while the velocity remains constant, the kinetic energy will increase proportionally to the mass.
