If the linear momentum of a body is increased by 50 % , then the kinetic energy of that body increases by
Options
- A100 %
- B125 %
- C225 %
- D25 %
Correct answer
B. 125 %
Step-by-step solution
Kinetic energy of the body, K= p ² 2 ~m Since, the mass remains constant K p ² gathered K ₂ ~K ₁ = p ₂² p ₁² = [ 150 100 ]²= 9 4 100 [ K ₂ ~K ₁ -1 ]= ( 9 4 -1 ) 100=125 % gathered
