Solution
K .E, K = `1/2` mv²
If speed is doubled
K.E, K' = `1/2` m (2v2)
or K' = 4 x `1/2` mv2 = 4K
Thus K.E becomes four times.

A truck driver can load oil drums into the back of the truck by pushing them up a sloping plank, or by lifting them directly. Each drum has a mass of 80 kg, the plank is 3 m long, and the back of the truck is 0.8 m above the ground.
