⏭ Given:
✏ The linear momentum of a body is increased by 50%
⏭ To Find:
✏ The kinetic energy is increased by...
⏭ Relation:
✏ Relation between linear momentum and kinetic energy is given by
⏭ Calculation:
✏ As per relation, it is clear that
✏ Here m remains constant.
✏ When the momentum of a body is increased by 50%, its momentum will become
✏ Percentage increase in the kinetic energy of the body
Solution:
Let us assume the initial velocity before increasing to be 'u' and the final velocity after increasing Momentum to be 'v'
According to the question, Momentum is increased by 50%.
→ mv = mu + 1/2 mu
→ mv = 1.5 mu
→ v = 1.5u [Since Mass is constant]
Now new velocity after increasing is 1.5 u
→ New Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m × (1.5u)²
→ New Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m × 2.25 u²
→ New Kinetic energy = 2.25 ( 1/2 mu² ) = 2.2.5 ( K.E )
Difference in Kinetic Energies:
→ 2.25 ( K.E ) - K.E)
→ 1.25 K.E.
Hence Increase in Kinetic Energy is given as:
Hence Kinetic Energy is increased by 125%.
