If the speed is doubled, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four (KE = 0.5 * mv^2, where v is the velocity), as kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
The momentum will also double (p = mv), as momentum is directly proportional to velocity.
The work done will increase by a factor of four (W = Fd, where F is the force applied and d is the distance traveled), as work is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance traveled, and force is directly proportional to velocity.
If speed is double what if for kinetic energy, momentum and work?
