newtonian mechanics - Why does kinetic energy increase quadratically, not linearly, with speed? - Physics Stack Exchange

As Wikipedia says: [...] the kinetic energy of a non-rotating object of mass $m$ traveling at a speed $v$ is $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$. Why does this not increase linearly with speed? Why does it take so...
