ocr: How does kinetic energy increase? Ar moving object's velocity governs its kinetic energy. However, a small change in velocity produces a much greater change in kinetic energy. KINETIC ENERGY 10m/s 30m/s 9 TIMES AS MUCH KINETIC ENERGI You can see this bylooking at the equation for kinetic energy. This says that: a body's kinetic energy (K.E., in joules) is equal to half of its mass (m, in kilograms) multiplied by the square of its velocity (v, 11 meters per second). Using symbols this is: K.E. 1/2mv2 This means that when the speed of something doubles, for example, its kinetic energy increases ...
