an object moving at 10. km/hr has a kinetic energy of 10. J. what is the kinetic energy of the same object if it is moving at 20. km/hr

kinetic energy is related to velocity by:
KE = (1/2)mv^2

solve for mass m
10 = (1/2)m(10)^2
10 = (1/2)m(100)
10= 50m
10/50 = m
1/5 = m

at 20 km/hr

KE = (1/2)(1/5)(20)^2
KE = (1/10)(400)
KE = 40 J
