Does the increase in mass cause an increase in kinetic energy?

Answer 1

No, the increase in mass does not directly cause an increase in kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of an object is determined by its mass and its velocity. According to the equation for kinetic energy (KE = 1/2 * m * v^2), the mass and the square of the velocity affect the kinetic energy. However, doubling the mass alone will not double the kinetic energy. The velocity of the object also needs to increase in order to have a direct impact on the kinetic energy.
