A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D along the direction of its motion.

By what multiplicative factor RK does the initial kinetic energy increase, and by what multiplicative factor RWdoes the work done by the force increase (with respect to the case when the particle had a mass M) ?

If one of the quantities doubles, for instance, it would increase by a factor of 2. If a quantity stays the same, then the multiplicative factor would be 1.

    Initial kinetic energy of M = 1/2 M vi²

    let final velocity be vf

    v² = u² + 2a s

    vf² = vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

    Kinetic energy

    = 1/2 Mvf²

    = 1/2 M (vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

    1/2 M vi² + FD

    Ratio with initial value

    1/2 M vi² + FD) / 1/2 M vi²

    RK = 1 + FD / 2 M vi²
