Kinetic energy percentage is the portion of an object's total energy that is due to its motion. It is calculated as the object's kinetic energy divided by its total energy.
Kinetic energy is a measure of an object's energy due to its motion, while kinetic energy percentage is a ratio of the object's kinetic energy to its total energy. Kinetic energy percentage takes into account the object's potential energy as well.
Kinetic energy percentage is a unitless quantity, as it is a ratio of two energies with the same units. However, it can also be expressed as a percentage (out of 100%).
Kinetic energy percentage and potential energy are two components of an object's total energy. As an object loses potential energy, its kinetic energy increases, resulting in a higher kinetic energy percentage. Conversely, as an object gains potential energy, its kinetic energy decreases, resulting in a lower kinetic energy percentage.
No, kinetic energy percentage cannot be greater than 100%. This is because kinetic energy is always a portion of an object's total energy, and cannot exceed it. If the kinetic energy percentage is calculated to be greater than 100%, it is likely due to an error in calculation.
