Question on: WAEC Physics - 2018
When the speed of a car is halved, its kinetic energy is
A
doubled
B
quartered
C
halved
D
quadrupled
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Given \(K_{1}\) = \(\frac{mv^{2}}{2}\).
When v is halved, we have
\(K_{2}\) = \(\frac{m\times (\frac{v}{2})^{2}}{2}\)
= \(\frac{K_{1}}{4}\), which is a quater
