Answer: Becomes four times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Speed is doubled for a moving object
Suppose initial speed is u
Increased speed is 2u
Kinetic Energy is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow K=0.5mu^2[/tex]
When speed is doubled
[tex]\Rightarrow K'=0.5m(2u)^2\\\Rightarrow K'=(0.5mu^2)\times 4\\\Rightarrow K'=4K[/tex]
Kinetic energy becomes four times
