Answer:

(i) The potential energy of the car remains same, since PE (= mgh) is independent of velocity.

(ii) The kinetic energy of the car becomes four times, since KE(=1/2 m*v^2) is proportional to square of velocity.

(iii) The momentum of the car will also get doubled, since momentum (p = mv) is proportional to velocity.

Given ;

Car is moving on a levelled road and gets its velocity doubled.

To Find :

(1) how would kinetic energy of car changes?

(2) how would potential energy of car will change?

(3 )how will momentum change ?

Solution :

(1) Kinetic Energy (KE) = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

                       KE        \alpha   v²

or,               \frac{KE_{initial}}{KE_{Final} }    = (\frac{v}{2v} )^{2}

or,              \frac{KE_{initial}}{KE_{Final} }     = \frac{v^{2} }{4v^{2} }

∴              KE_{Final}         = 4 KE_{initial}

When the velocity doubles, the kinetic energy would increase by (2)² or 4 times.

(2) Potential Energy (PE) is inversely related to Kinetic energy (KE)

As Kinetic energy is increasing, Potential Energy will decrease.

(3) As we know the formula for momentum is :

                              p=mv

Where,

p denotes as the momentum of the body

m denotes the mass of the body

v denotes the velocity

                        Momentum (p) \alpha Velocity (v)

or,                          \frac{p_{initial} }{p_{final} }         = \frac{v}{2v}

or,                       p_{final}             = 2 × p_{initial}

∴ When the velocity get doubled, Momentum gets also doubled.
