The measurement of kinetic energy primarily depends on mass and velocity (not directly listed in your options, but it's important to note that kinetic energy is given by the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity).
From the options provided:
- Mass: This is directly related to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy does not directly relate to temperature, volume, or density in the same way. Although temperature can be correlated with kinetic energy in a broader thermodynamic sense (as it relates to the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance), it is not a direct measurement of kinetic energy itself.
Therefore, among the options given, Mass is the correct answer.
