Question

If the momentum of certain body be increased by 50%It's kinetic energy will increase by

Answer 1

K=1/2 m(v)2 now P (KINETIC ENERGY) =MV THERFORE:- K=P SQUARE /2m

So if p is 50%increase k=p square /4m. SO I CAN SAY THAT IF MOMENTUM IS 50% INCREASE KINETIC ENERGY IS Doubled.

I hope this will help you.
