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.

Explanation:
The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows
dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms
For the beginning period
dN₀ / dt = λ N₀
58.2 = λ N₀
similarly
41 = λ N
dividing
58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N
N = N₀ x .70446
formula of radioactive decay
- λ t = ln .70446 = - .35
t = .35 / λ
λ = .693 / half life
= .693 / 5715
= .00012126
t = .35 / .00012126
= 2886.36
= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )
