Question

Which would have grater effect on kinetic energy of an object -doubling the mass or doubling the velocity

Answer 1

Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translational kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.

So if the velocity is doubled, the kinetic energy is quadrupled. So, with the conditions that I have described, the smaller mass would have more kinetic energy than the larger mass, at that instant. If p is the same for the two objects, KE is bigger for the one with the smaller m (smaller denominator).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of thevelocity. Therefore, doubling the velocity has greater effect on the kinetic energy of the object thandoubling its mass.
