An object of mass m and velocity v has kinetic energy = 200 J . Find the new kinetic energy if the velocity of the object becomes double.

Open in App

Solution

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity when mass is kept constant.
when velocity is doubled, kinetic energy becomes 4 times.

New kinetic energy will be 800 joule.
