Solution

The kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula KE = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.

  1. If the speed was quartered, the kinetic energy would be:

    KE = 1/2 * m * (v/4)^2 = 1/2 * m * v^2 / 16 = 143 J / 16 = 8.9375 J

  2. If the mass was doubled and the speed was halved, the kinetic energy would be:

    KE = 1/2 * 2m * (v/2)^2 = m * v^2 / 4 = 2 * 143 J / 4 = 71.5 J
