As mass increases, KE ...

• increases
• decreases
• stays the same

Which has a greater impact on KE?

• mass
• velocity

The SI unit in which kinetic energy is measured is 

• Newton
• Kilogram
• Joules
• Metres per second

Rearrange the equation for kinetic energy to make mass the subject of the equation.

• m = KE/2v²
• m = 2KE/v²
• m = v²/2KE
• m = 2v²/KE

Rearrange the equation for kinetic energy to make velocity squared the subject of the equation.

• v² = KE/2m
• v² = 2m/KE
• v² = 1/2 KE m
• v² = 2KE/m

Rearrange the equation for kinetic energy to make velocity the subject of the equation.

• v = √(2KE/m)
• v² = 2KE/m
• v = √(m/2KE)
• v = √(KE/2m)

Calculate the kinetic energy of a moving 4 kg object travelling at a velocity of 3 m/s.
