Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

At 7.5 m/s, the object's KE is (1/2) (7.5) (7.5)² = 210.9375 joules

At 11.5 m/s, the object's KE is (1/2) (7.5) (11.5)² = 495.9375 joules

The additional energy needed to speed the object up from 7.5 m/s
to 11.5 m/s is (495.9375 - 210.9375) = <em>285 joules</em>.

That energy has to come from somewhere. Without friction, that's exactly
the amount of work that must be done to the object in order to raise its
speed by that much.

What do you do , when you get anger?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
I try to think of things that calms me down. If that doesn't work, I try to think of things that makes me happy. As I once read in a book, you can never get over your anger but you can calm yourself down by forgetting about it.<span />

It's a bunch of lines. Each line starts at one Pole, curves around, and ends at the other Pole. There are a lot of them. (I hope this is not too long or complicated.)
