Represent K.E. in terms of momentum.
plz answer
Answers
Answer:-
We know that:-
=> K.E. = 1/2mv²
Where:-
• K.E. is the kinetic energy of the body
• m is mass of the body
• v is velocity of the body
Now, from the above formula :-
=> K.E. = 1/2mv²×m/m
=> K.E. = (mv)²/2m. ----(1)
We know, the formula of momentum(p) :-
=> p = mv
By, putting the value of mv in eq.1, we get:-
=> K.E. = p²/2m
Thus, we can represent the relationship between kinetic energy and mimentum by the formula :- K.E. = p²/2m
Some Extra Information:-
• Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body beacause of it's motion.
• K.E. = 1/2mv²
Thus, K.E. of a body depends on 2 factors:-
(1) Mass [K.E. ∝ m]
(2) Velocity [K.E. ∝ v²]
• Kinetic energy of a body is always
positive. This is because mass can
never be negative and square of a real
value is always positive.
KE = Kinetic energy, p = momentum,
m = mass & v = final velocity.
