A moving car initially has kinetic energy K. The car then moves in the opposite direction with four times its initial speed. What is the kinetic energy now

Respuesta :

If initial speed was v, Kinetic energy was K = 1/2mv^2

When speed will be 4v, KE will be:

= 1/2 m (4v)^2

=1/2m 16 v^2

=16K

Now kinetic energy will become 16 times of initial Kinetic Energy
