Answer: its is you figer it out okay haha

Step-by-step explanation: im jokeing

Kinetic energy = 1/2 M V2

At the lower speed, the car's KE is (500) (1)2 = 500 joules

At the higher speed, the car's KE is (500) (2)2 = 2,000 joules

The difference is the energy i.e. the work you have to put into it

to raise the speed from 1 m/s to 2 m/s.

(2,000 - 500) = 1,500 joules there u go :D
