Best Answer

Kinetic energy increases as speed or mass increases, or as potential energy decreases.
Velocity increases

(The kinetic energy of an object would also increase as its mass increases, but this doesn't usually happen.)

Ans:

Do you mean how does an increase in velocity effect the overall kinetic energy?

En = (1/2).m.v^2

En = kinetic energy; m = mass; v = velocity

If we look at the equation, we can see that if we kept m constant (1/2).m would be a constant value, hence we could say:

En = KV^2 so the kinetic energy will increase with the square of the velocity, but only linearly with mass. Of course, mass is unlikely to change in a moving object under normal conditions.

Kinetic energy of particles.


Why is heat energy linked with kinetic energy?

It is linked because heat is the total potential and kinetic energy of an object, so as kinetic energy increases, heat increases.


What happens to the kinetic energy when an object moves faster?

When the kinetic energy of atoms increases thermal energy increases or decreases?

Thermal energy (temperature) is the measurement of kinetic energy of atoms moving in a substance, therefore, as the speed (kinetic energy) of these atoms increases, thermal energy increases as well.

Is it true that when increases the average kinetic energy of the particles decrease?

No. It is the opposite. When temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles also increases.

What happens to the kinetic energy when temperature is changed?

When the temperature is increased the kinetic energy increases, and when it is decreased the kinetic energy decreases.
