उत्तर
If the mass as well as the velocity of a body is doubled then the kinetic energy of the body becomes four times the initial kinetic energy.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is given by KE = `1/2`mv2
If mass and velocity are both doubled, the new kinetic energy becomes:
KE' = `1/2(2m)(2v)^2`
= 8 × initial K.E.
So, the kinetic energy becomes eight times the initial value.
