When the speed of a ball is doubled its kinetic energy(a) Remains same (b) gets doubled(c) Becomes half (d) becomes 4 times

Answer»

ANSWER ⇒ Option (d). 4 TIMES.


Explanation ⇒

Let the Original VELOCITY, mass and the kinetic ENERGY of the BODY be v, m and K₁ respectively.


∴ K = 1/2 × mv² -----eq(i)


Now,

If the velocity becomes 2 times of the original, then new velocity = 2v


∴ New Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m(2v)²

⇒ K₂ = 1/2 × mv² × 4

⇒ K₂ = K₁ × 4 [From eq(i)]

⇒ K₂ = 4K₁



Hence, the kinetic energy becomes 4 times of the original.



Hope it helps.
