200
This is known as the energy of motion.
kinetic energy
200
This type of force does not cause a change in motion since the forces acting on the object are equal.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and speed/velocity?
It is non-linear

According to Newton's 2nd Law, these are 2 ways to INCREASE an object's acceleration.
Decrease mass & increase force
400
This causes magnetic, electric, & gravitational forces to become weaker.
More distance

Name one factor that affects an object's kinetic energy (could increase or decrease it)
mass or speed
500
Newton's 3rd law says...
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
500
This causes gravity to become stronger.
Less distance or more mass.
