Verified Answer :

Velocity and height are the terms that best describes what
affects kinetic energy and potential energy.

By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:


\(K = \frac{1}{2} mv ^ 2
\)

Where,

m: body mass

v: body speed

On the other hand, the potential energy is:


\(U = m * g * h
\)

Where,

m: body mass

g: acceleration of gravity

h: height of the object

Therefore, a set of terms that affects kinetic and potential energy are speed and height, respectively.

Answer:

The set of terms is speed and height, respectively.
