* Kinetic Energy Formula: The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is calculated using the following formula:
KE = (1/2) * m * v²
Where:
* m = mass of the object
* v = velocity of the object
* Doubling the Velocity: If you double the velocity (v), you are essentially squaring the velocity term in the formula:
KE = (1/2) * m * (2v)² = (1/2) * m * 4v²
* The Result: As you can see, the kinetic energy is now multiplied by 4, meaning it is quadrupled.
In summary: Doubling the velocity of an object will increase its kinetic energy by a factor of four.
