Question

The driver of a 770 kg car decides to double the speed from 23.1 m/s to 46.2 m/s. What effect would this have on the amount of work required to stop the car, that is, on the kinetic energy of the car? Give your answers to the following questions in joules.

    Answer:

    The final kinetic energy is four times of initial kinetic energy when speed of the car doubles.

    K_{2} = 4 K_{1}

    Explanation:

    Mass of the car = 770 kg

    initial speed V_{1} = 23.1 \frac{m}{s}

    Final speed V_{2} = 46.2 \frac{m}{s}

    Initial kinetic energy K_{1} = \frac{1}{2} m V_{1} ^{2}

    ⇒ K_{1} = 0.5 × 770 × 23.1^{2}

    ⇒ K_{1} = 205440 J

    Final kinetic energy  K_{2} = \frac{1}{2} m V_{2} ^{2}

    ⇒ K_{2} = 0.5× 770 × 46.2^{2}

    ⇒ K_{2} = 821760 J

    Thus K_{2} = 4 K_{1}

    Therefore the final kinetic energy is four times of initial kinetic energy when speed of the car doubles.
