A 12-kg sled is moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s. At which of the following speeds will the sled have twice as much kinetic energy?

What does "the following" mean ?

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to speed² .

So kinetic energy doubles if the speed is increased by √2 .

(3 m/s) · (√2)  =  4.243 m/s
