Relationship between gravity/kinetic energy

[Hmoob]

Does gravity and kinetic energy have an affect on each other? Say, if I were in space where there is less gravity, would kinetic energy change also?

Thanks.

Are you asking about the acceleration due to gravity? If so, yes. The gravitational foce will cause you to accelerate, hence your velocity (along with your kinetic energy) would increase. K=.5mv^2 A weaker G-field will just make you accelerate slower.
