This graph is based on a rolling object with a mass of 2000 kg. At a speed of 80 m/s, the object has 1,000,000 J of kinetic energy. How much kinetic energy does it have when the speed doubles?

• 1,000,000 J

• 2,000,000 J

• 3,000,000 J

• 4,000,000 J

How much less kinetic energy goes an object have if it changes speed from 100 km/h to 50 km/h?

• Kinetic energy does not decrease

• Kinetic energy decreases by half

• Kinetic energy decreases from 400 kJ to 200 kJ

• Kinetic energy decreases from 400 kJ to 100 kJ
