Work Energy And Power Question 237

Question: If the momentum of a body is increased by 50%, then the percentage increase in its kinetic energy

Options:

A) 50%

B) 100%

C) 125%

D) 200%

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Initial momentum (p1)=p,

Final momentum (p2)=1.5 p and initial kinetic energy (K1)=K .

Kinetic energy (K)=p22mp2 Or, K1K2=(p1p2)2=(p1.5p)2=12.25 or, K2=2.25K. Therefore, increase in kinetic energy is 2.25 KK=1.25Kor125
