See below?
a) A car of mass 850 kg is travelling at a constant speed of 12m/s. Calculate the car's store of kinetic energy. Give your answer in standard form expressed to 2 significant figures.
b) The car now accelerates increasing its store of kinetic energy by a factor of 2. (I don't understand what factor of 2 means) Calculate the car's speed. Give your answer to 2 significant figures.
