If the speed of a car is halved, how does its kinetic energy change?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine how the kinetic energy of a car changes when its speed is halved, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for kinetic energy. The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the formula: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( v \) is its speed. ...
