Question

Which has greater effect on the kinetic energy of an object : doubling the mass or doubling the velocity?

Answer

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. 
                              K.E. ∝ vand 

                              K.E. ∝ m

Therefore, doubling the velocity has greater effect on the kinetic energy of the object than doubling its mass.
