Kinetic energy depends on the mass and velocity of an object. When mass or velocity increases or decreases, kinetic energy follows as a positive correlation. Velocity affects the motion of an object at a greater degree than its mass.
The formula for kinetic energy is half of the mass multiplied by velocity as a function of meters per second. The result is the energy of motion within an object. Kinetic energy also transfers from one object to another with the use of force from the energy. Kinetic energy is one of two main types of energy in physics. The other is potential energy, which is the energy of an object at rest but with the potential for motion due to its position or another factor.
