The linear momentum is increased by 50 % , the kinetic energy will increase by
Options
- A50 %
- B100%
- C125%
- D25%
Correct answer
C. 125%
Step-by-step solution
Let p₁=p, p₂=p₁+50 % of p₁=p₁+ p₁ 2 = 3 p₁ 2 E p^2 E₂ E₁ = ( p₂ p₁ )^2= ( 3 p₁ / 2 p₁ )^2= 9 4 E₂=2.25 E₁=E₁+1.25 E₁i e , kinetic energy will increase by 125 %
