Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x m x v^2 ----------------(1)
Since the equation for momentum (p) is = m x v
By multiplying equation (1) by m,
K.E x m = 1/2 x m^2 x v^2
K.E x m = 1/2 x (m x v )^2
K.E x m = 1/2 x (p)^2
K.E = 1/2 x (p)^2 / m
K.E x 2 = (p)^2 / m
Since K.E x 2 is constant,
(p)^2 = (K.E x 2 ) x m
It is similar to a graph of Y^2 = kX ; k - Constant
The graph then should be like below
