Use the formula for kinetic energy: KE = (1/2) mv2 (one-half times the mass times speed squared). Clearly, the amount of kinetic energy depends both on the mass and on the speed of the object.
No. Kinetic energy is 1/2 times mass times velocity squared - so as you can see, acceleration doesn't even enter the equation. If it accelerates, the speed will change, though, and so will its kinetic energy.
kinetic energy
To calculate the kinetic energy, multiply the mass times the velocity squared and divide by 2. (Mass in kilograms, speed in meters/sec, yields energy in joules.) The equation is KE= 1/2 (mv2) Kinetic Energy= one-half (mass times velocity squared)
The kinetic energy of the vehicle when it is travelling faster is four times as great. It the brakes apply the same retardation and the friction from the tires on the road surface is unchanged then the stopping time will be four times as long.

Kinetic energy is the mass times one half the velocity squared. KE = ½mv².
Kinetic energy is the mass times one half the velocity squared. KE = ½mv².
Since momentum is proportional to the velocity, half the momentum means half the velocity (and therefore half the speed). And since kinetic energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the speed, half the speed means 1/4 the kinetic energy.

If the speed of a moving body is reduced to half, its kinetic eneergy is reduced to 1/4 .
No. Kinetic energy is 1/2 times mass times velocity squared - so as you can see, acceleration doesn't even enter the equation. If it accelerates, the speed will change, though, and so will its kinetic energy.
