<h2>Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translational kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.</h2>
Find the average speed and the average velocity.
Average speed = distance / time
distance = 10 x 8000 m = 80,000 m
time = 20 min * 60 s/min = 1200 s
Average speed = 80,000 m / 1200 s = 66.67 m/s
Average velocity = displacement / time
Given that the race car made complete circles the final poin is the same initial point, then its displacement is zero and the average velocity is zero too.
