Answer:
Option d
d. 16 times the ke
Explanation:
The kinetic energy is defined as:
[tex]Ke = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}[/tex] (1)
Where m and v are the mass and velocity of the object.
The kinetic energy represents how much energy have an object as a consequence of its movement.
For the case of a car moving 4 times as fast as another identical car.
By means of equation 1 it is gotten:
[tex]Ke = \frac{1}{2}m\cdot(4v)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]Ke = \frac{1}{2}m\cdot16v^{2}[/tex]
Hence, the faster car has 16 times the kinetic energy.
