Question

How does kinetic energy depend on velocity?

a . The kinetic energy is an absolute quantity, the same seen by any observer, moving or stationary.

b. The kinetic energy is zero unless there is an applied force.

c. The kinetic energy seen in my reference frame depends on the velocity squared as I would measure it.

d. The kinetic energy increases in proportion to the velocity, so if the velocity doubles the energy doubles.

d. The kinetic energy increases in proportion to the velocity, so if the velocity doubles the energy doubles.

Kinetic energy = 0.5mv^2

where m - mass of the object

v = velocity with which the object is moving

so Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity

so the correct aswer is Option C) The kinetic energy seen in my reference frame depends on the velocity squared as I would measure it.
