Explanation:
energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. Therefore, doubling the velocity has greater effect on the kinetic energy of the object than doubling its mass. ... Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.
