What will be the kinetic energy if velocity will be tripled? |
|
Answer» The energy possessed by a body because of its MOTION, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed is CALLED its kinetic energy. K = 1 2 m v 2 K= 2 1 2
When, v = 2 v v=2V, K ′ = 1 2 m ( 2 v ) 2 K ′ = 2 1 m(2v) 2
K ′ = 4 × 1 2 m v 2 K ′ =4× 2 1 mv 2
K ′ = 4 K K ′ =4K Hence, when velocity is doubled, kinetic energy BECOMES 4 times.
