 A rocket is moving up with a velocity v. If the velocity of this rocket is suddenly tripled, what will be the ratio of two kinetic energies?

Answers (1)

Solution.

We know that kinetic energy is defined as:
KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
We can see that the kinetic energy will be proportional to the square of speed for a given body of constant mass.
As the rocket's speed is suddenly tripled, the rocket's kinetic energy will be nine times.
KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
\frac{KE_{i}}{KE_{f}}=\frac{V^{2}_{i}}{V^{2}_{f}}
