If the momentum of a body is increased by 100 % , then the percentage increase in the kinetic energy is
Options
- A150 %
- B200 %
- C225 %
- D300 %
Correct answer
D. 300 %
Step-by-step solution
KE = p^2 2 m KE ₂= KE ₁ ( p₂ p₁ )^2= KE ₁ ( 2 p p )^2 aligned KE ₂ & =4 KE ₁ & = KE ₁+3 KE ₁= KE ₁+300 % of KE ₁ aligned
