-It increases
Its momentum (defined as mass x velocity).
Look at the formula for the kinetic energy of an object: KE = 1/2 M V2Did you notice that " V2 " ? That means the KE is proportional to the squareof the object's velocity.So if the object's speed doubles, its KE increases by (2)2 = a factor of 4.
Assuming non-relativistic speeds: Doubling the speed will quadruple the kinetic energy.
The difference between an object's speed and an object's velocity is that the object's speed is how fast it is going, and the object's velocity is how many units of speed the object has traveled.
At twice the speed, the kinetic energy will be four times greater.
If the speed of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples. This is because velocity is squared in the formula for kinetic energy.

about 10mph
WHAT THE SPEED OF STATIONARY OBJECT?
Speed of an object at one instant of time is the object's instantaneous speed.(Not velocity.)
The wiehgt or mass of an object or by its speed
Newton's Third Law is closely related to Conservation of Momentum. When objects collide, whether the collision is elastic or not, momentum is conserved. (An elastic collision is one in which mechanical energy is conserved. In an elastic collision, after the collision, the objects go away at the same relative speed at which they approached before the collision.)
