Explanation:
The initial kinetic energy [tex]KE_0[/tex] is
[tex]KE_0 = \frac{1}{2}m_0v_0^2[/tex]
When its mass and velocity are doubled, its new kinetic energy KE is
[tex]KE = \frac{1}{2}(2m_0)(2v_0)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2m_0)(4v_0^2)[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 8 \left(\frac{1}{2}m_0v_0^2 \right)= 8KE_0[/tex]
Therefore the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of 8.
