If you double your speed, your kinetic energy will increase by:

1 answer:

4 0

According to that equation, kinetic energy is proportional to the square of speed, so if you double the speed, the kinetic energy will increase by 4 times the initial amount.

Answer:

6.46393559312 m/s²

Explanation:

Time taken to cover 56 m

$t=\dfrac{56}{29}\ s$

Distance covered in 0.42 seconds

$0.42\times 20=8.4\ m$

From equation of linear motion

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$8.4+20(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)+\dfrac{1}{2}a(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)^2=46\\\Rightarrow a=(46-8.4-20(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42))\times\dfrac{2}{(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=6.46393559312\ m/s^2$
