Question
When the speed of a moving object is doubled, then its kenetic energy ______.
Options
remains the same
decreases
is doubled
becomes four times
Solution
When the speed of a moving object is doubled, then its kenetic energy becomes four times.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy (k) ∝ (velocity v)2
Now `("k'")/"k"=(2"v")^2/("v")^2`
⇒ k' = 4k
