The momentum of a body is increased by 25 % . The kinetic energy is increased by about
Options
- A25%
- B5%
- C56%
- D38 %
Correct answer
C. 56%
Step-by-step solution
The relation between K and p is p= 2 K m when increased by 25 % , we have p^ =p+ 25 100 p= 5 p 4 array ll & 4 p 5 p = K₁ K₂ & K₁ K₂ = 16 25 array Hence, percentage increase is = 25-16 16 100= 9 16 100=56.25 %
