SUMMARY
The kinetic energy (KE) of an automobile increases with the square of its speed. Given an initial kinetic energy of 2100 J, when the automobile moves at 5 times its original speed, its kinetic energy becomes 52,500 J. The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is defined by the equation KE = 0.5 * m * v², where m is mass and v is velocity.
