(9) Why does kinetic energy increase quadratically, not linearly, with speed? (2011)
Kinetic energy scales with the square of speed because KE = 1/2 m v^2, a result you can derive from the work-energy principle. From the integral form of work, or using power F·v, the dependence on v^2 emerges, not v. This has practical implications for energy budgeting, braking, and high-speed safety since modest speed changes dramatically affect energy and forces involved.
动能与速度的平方成正比，来自于 KE = 1/2 m v^2 以及功的定义。通过功的积分或功率 F·v 的推导可见，动能随速度的平方增加，而非线性关系。这个关系在能量预算、制动与高速安全等方面具有现实意义，因为速度的微小变化会带来成倍的能量和力的差异。
