Answer:
If an object moves twice as fast its kinetic energy quadruples.
Explanation:
The kinetic energy (K₁) of a body of mass (m) that moves with speed (v) is:
K₁= 1/2 * m* v²
If we double the speed of the body, its kinetic energy (K₂) will be:
K₂= 1/2 * m*( 2v)²
K₂= 1/2 * m* 4 *v²
K₂= 4(1/2 * m *v²)
K₂= 4*K₁
