What is the relationship between an object's mass and its kinetic energy?

The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it has.

100
At what point on a roller coaster does the roller coaster have the most potential energy?
At the highest point
200

When you rub your hands together and they get warm, what type of energy is taking found?  

Thermal Energy

200
The energy that an object has because of its position or condition
Potential energy
200

Electrical energy
200

What kind of graph is made when comparing Kinetic Energy and Speed?

Exponential Graph (Curved Line)

200
If you push on a door that says pull is work being done of the door? Why or why not?
No because work is the use of force to move an object. You exerted a force but did not move the object.

kinetic energy
300
Energy available for release from chemical reactions
Chemical energy
300
