If he doubles his speed when he sees his friends ahead of him. his kinetic energy at the faster speed is joules is 160Joules
The formula for calculating the kinetic energy of an object is expressed as:
KE = 1/2mv²
where:
m is the mass of an object
v is the velocity
If he’s moving at 2 meters/second and has 40 joules of kinetic energy, the mass is calculated as:
40 = 0.5(2)²m
40 = 2m
m = 20 kg
If he doubles his speed when he sees his friends ahead of him, his kinetic energy will be:
KE = 0.5(20)(4)²
KE = 10*16
KE = 160joules
Hence if he doubles his speed when he sees his friends ahead of him. his kinetic energy at the faster speed is joules is 160Joules
