Answer:
Because space is a void with no air flow
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and velocity v is given by

Let's call

the initial speed of the car, so that its initial kinetic energy is

where m is the mass of the car.
The problem says that the car speeds up until its velocity is twice the original one, so

and by using the new velocity we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the car

so, if the velocity of the car is doubled, the new kinetic energy is 4 times the initial kinetic energy.
Answer: v = 2.24 m/s
Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.
The equation is calculated as:






v = 2.24
The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.
