Kinetic energy, KE, is modeled by the formula

, where m is the mass in kg and v is the velocity in m/s.
In this scenario, mass and one-half are constant but the velocity changes.
You can see that by squaring twice the velocity, that is equal to four times the original KE. Therefore, the answer is 4k.
Water is a very unique substance because it can exist in all three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) within the normal temperature ranges found on Earth. When one observes the phase of matter of water, one observes a property of matter.
Given:
Area of pool = 3m×4m
Diameter of orifice = 0.076m
Outlet Velocity = 6.3m/s
Accumulation velocity = 1.5cm/min
Required:
Inlet flowrate
Solution:
The problem can be solved by this general formula.
Accumulation = Inlet flowrate - Outlet flowrate
Accumulation velocity × Area of pool = Inlet flowrate - Outlet velocity × Area of orifice
First, we need to convert the units of the accumulation velocity into m/s to be consistent.
Accumulation velocity = 1.5cm/min × (1min/60s)×(1m/100cm)
Accumulation velocity = 0.00025 m/s
We then calculate the area of the pool and the area of the orifice by:
Area of pool = 3 × 4 m²
Area of pool = 12m²
Area of orifice = πd²/4 = π(0.076m)²/4
Area of orifice = 0.00454m²
Since we have all we need, we plug in the values to the general equation earlier
Accumulation velocity × Area of pool = Inlet flowrate - Outlet velocity × Area of orifice
0.00025 m/s × 12m² = Inlet flowrate - 6.3m/s × 0.00454m²
Transposing terms,
Inlet flowrate = 0.316 m³/s
