Answer:

It turns out that an object's kinetic energy increases as the square of its speed

Step-by-step explanation:

A car moving 40 mph has four times as much kinetic energy as one moving 20 mph, while at 60 mph a car carries nine times as much kinetic energy as at 20 mph.

basiclly the faster the more impact it has when it suddenly stops or hit somthing
