Kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
Derivation:
Let us consider an object of m which is at rest lying on a table.
Let A force F acts on the object which moves the object through a distance S.
The workdone=F×S
W=F
net
×S-------(1)
Let the work done on the object causes a change in its velocity from u to V and let a be the acceleration.
From Third equation of motion:
V²−u²=2as
s=V²−u²/2a----------(2)
By Newton's Second law:
F=ma------(3)
From equation (1), (2) and (3)
W=ma×(V

As we assumed object at rest, u=0
W=(1/2)mV

we know that the kinetic energy of a body moving with a certain velocity is equal to work done on the object to acquire that velocity from rest.
∴K.E=1/2mV

If the density of earth is doubled keeping volume same, then the mass of the earth is also doubled. So, M becomes 2M.
So, the value of g will be doubled.
