Q)If the speed of a vehicle increases by 2 m/s,its kinetic energy is doubled,then original speed of the vehicle is
a)(sqrt of 2 )+1 m/s

b)2(sqrt of 2 -1)m/s

c)2(sqrt of 2 + 1 )m/s

d)sqrt of 2 (sqrt of 2 + 1)m/s

so i got v=2 so how do i find the correct option sad.png

 

 

It's not the right answer.

 

I entered it to OpenOffice

A column is velocity

B column is K.E. with v

C column is. K.E. with v+2

D column is C/2

 

 

See where they're crossing..

You should not guess, but calculate..

 

v^2-4*v-4=0
