Kinetic energy KE of a body of mass m moving with velocity or speed v is given by the formula: 

KE = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mv2 

so kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of object and to the square of speed of the body. 

If the speed of particle is doubled then kinetic energy becomes four time. 

KE1 =\(\frac{1}{2}\) mv1

KE2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mv22 where, v2 = 2v

Substituting the value of v2 in the formula, 

KE2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) m (2v1)

\(\frac{1}{2}\)(4 mv12

KE2 = 4 KE1 

So kinetic energy will become 4 times if the speed is doubled.
