An object’s kinetic energy will increase with:
A
Speed and mass
B
Height and mass
C
Speed and position
D
Position and height
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The equation for Kinetic Energy is: KE = 1/2 mv2. Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with mass, meaning that as mass increases so does the Kinetic Energy of an object. The same is true of velocity. However, mass and velocity are indirectly related.

Detailed explanation-2: -The kinetic energy of a moving object is directly proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the square of its velocity. This means that an object with twice the mass and equal speed will have twice the kinetic energy while an object with equal mass and twice the speed will have quadruple the kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anytime matter is in motion it has kinetic energy. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it has.

Detailed explanation-4: -The amount of kinetic energy possessed by an object depends directly upon the square of speed (or velocity). An increase in speed will increase the kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the body.
