Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Doubling an object’s velocity will double its kinetic energy

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, when the object’s speed doubles, its kinetic energy doubles to four times the initial kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, when velocity is doubled, kinetic energy becomes 4 times.

Detailed explanation-4: -If the velocity is doubled its kinetic energy is multiplied by four times. And there is no relationship between the velocity and potential energy. So, if the velocity is doubled, momentum also doubles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Therefore, when the velocity of the object is doubled, the kinetic energy of the object becomes four times.
