Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. Mathematically, it is given by :
[tex]E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]........(1)
Where
m is the mass of the car
v is the velocity of the car
And the momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and velocity i.e.
[tex]momentum(p)=mass(m)\times velocity(v)[/tex]..........(2)
From equation (1) and (2) it is clear that the kinetic energy and the momentum is directly proportional to the velocity of the object. As a car increases velocity, its kinetic energy or momentum increase faster.
