An empty truck traveling at 10 km/h has kinetic energy. How much kinetic energy does it have when loaded so that its mass and its speed are both doubled?

8 time increase in K.E.

Explanation:

Consider Mass of truck = m kg and speed = v m/s then

K.E. = 1/2 ×mv²

If mass and speed both are doubled i.e let m₀ = 2m and v₀ = 2v then

(K.E.)₀ =  1/2 ×2m(2v)²

(K.E.)₀ = 8 (1/2 × mv²) = 8 × K.E.

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
