QUESTION:
1. Suppose that energy Q is required to accelerate a car from rest to v,
neglecting friction. How much added energy would be required to increase the
speed from v to 2v?

Choices:
a. Q b.2Q c. 3Q d.4Q

ANSWER: 3Q (c)
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)
Using the energy equation W=KE2 – KE1
Q = 0.5mv2 – 0 - condition 1
W = 0.5m(2v)2 – 0.5mv2 - condition 2
W=2mv2 – 0.5mv2 = 3(0.5mv2) = 3Q (c)
