What two characteristics of objects impact kinetic energy the most?

Question 3 options:

mass and weight

velocity (speed) and distance

mass and velocity (speed)

mass and distance

mass and velocity (speed)

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion, e.g a moving car. It is measured in joules.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x (Mass x velocity^2)

For instance:

A moving car that has a mass of 10 kg and runs with a velocity of 2m/s will have a kinetic energy of 20 joules.

Thus, the mass and velocity (speed) of an object impact kinetic energy.

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.
