A constant horizontal pull acts on a sled on a horizontal frictionless ice pond. The sled starts from rest. When the pull acts over a distance x, the sled acquires a speed v and a kinetic energy K.

If the same pull instead acts over twice this distance: A) The sled's speed will be 2v and its kinetic energy will be 2K.
B) The sled's speed will be 2v and its kinetic energy will be K .
C) The sled's speed will be v and its kinetic energy will be 2K.
D) The sled's speed will be v and its kinetic energy will be K .
E) The sled's speed will be 4v and its kinetic energy will be 2K.
