Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A moving car has kinetic energy. If the car moves faster, it will have ____ kinetic energy.
A
the same
B
less
C
no
D
more
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -This equation reveals that the kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its speed. That means that for a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four. For a threefold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of nine.

Detailed explanation-3: -A slow moving car may have more kinetic energy than a fast moving motorcycle. How is this possible? Logic – the slow moving car has a large mass, which contributes to its Kinetic Energy.
