How many times should the force be increased to impart twice the speed to a body of the same mass at the same distance?

To find the required increase in the acting force, we use the formula: S = V ^ 2 / 2a = V ^ 2 / (2F / m); the resulting equality: Vk ^ 2 / (2Fk / m) = Vn ^ 2 / (2Fn / m); Vk ^ 2 / Fk = Vn ^ 2 / Fn, whence we express: Fk = Vk ^ 2 * Fn / Vn ^ 2.

The ratio of the variables: Vk (required speed) = 2Vn (initial speed).

Calculation: Fk = Vk ^ 2 * Fn / Vn ^ 2 = (2Vn) ^ 2 * Fn / Vn ^ 2 = 4Fn.

Answer: The effective force needs to be increased by 4 times.
