Energy conservation — practice question

A car's speed rises from $10\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ to $15\,\text{m s}^{-1}$, causing its kinetic energy to increase by $E_1$. At a later time, its speed then rises from $15\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ to $25\,\text{m s}^{-1}$, causing its kinetic energy to increase by $E_2$. Find the ratio $\dfrac{E_2}{E_1}$?

  • A$1.6$
  • B$2.6$
  • C$3.2$
  • D$4.0$
