How much work does it take to accelerate from 5 m/s to 10 m/s?

Answer:

KE (5) = 1/2 M V^2 = 25/2 M

KE (10) = 1/2 M V^2 = 100/2 M

KE (10) - KE (5) = M/2 (100 - 25) = 75/2 / M

An object traveling at 10 m/s has 4 times the kinetic energy as an object traveling at 5 m/s

Total work would depend on the mass being accelerated
