Question

Which statement explains the similarity between momentum and kinetic energy of an object? A. Both are inversely proportional to the mass and velocity of the object. B. Both are directly proportional to the mass and velocity of the object. C. Both are inversely proportional to force and displacement. D. Momentum is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of the velocity of the object. E. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of the velocity of the object.

Answer 1

The correct answer is  

B. Both are directly proportional to the mass and velocity of the object.

Answer 2

Both are directly proportional to the mass and velocity of the object.

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv .....(1)

The kinetic energy of the object is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$ .....(2)

Here, m is mass of object and v is velocity of object

From equation (1) and (2), it is clear that both momentum and kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.

Hence the correct statement is (B).
