Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Doubling the speed will quadruple the kinetic energy. The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is: This means that the factor by which kinetic energy increases is the square of the factor by which speed or velocity increases for a given object.

Answer: The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, so doubling the speed increases the kinetic energy by a factor of 4.

If the momentum of an object is doubled, but its mass does not increase (so velocity remains well below the speed of light), then its velocity is doubled. If the velocity is doubled then the kinetic energy increases by the square of 2, or four time. Hence kinetic energy of the body will be 4 times to its eirlier value.
