Answer: by a factor of √2

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is written as:

K = (m/2)*v^2

where m is the mass of the particle and v is the velocity:

If we double the kinetic energy, we have:

k' = 2k = 2(m/2)*v^2

now we want to see by what factor is increased the velocity, so we must put that 2 inside the square power, this is:

k' = 2*(m/2)*(v)^2 = (m/2)*(√2*v)^2 is the new kinetic energy,

This means that the velocity is increased by a factor of √2

Which of Newton's laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in oribit?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.


Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

The gas planets usually have extremely high gravitational pulls, the surface isn't solid (since its a gas planet), and gas planets are larger than the inner planets.
