What happens to the kinetic energy when
i ) The mass of the body is doubled at constant velocity
ii ) The velocity of the body is doubled at constant velocity
iii ) The mass of the body is doubled but the velocity is reduced to
half.
EK = 1/2 m * v2
i) when mass is doubled with the velocity constant then K. E. = 1/2 (2m) * v2
=> 2 { 1/2 m * v2}
=> the kinetic energy would be doubled.
ii) I cant understand it as u are increasing the velocity and saying it constant.
If, the v is doubled ith the mass constant, then the Kinetic Energy would become 4 times.
iii) if the mass is doubked and velocity halved, then the kinetic energy would be Halved.
Hope the answer is right.
