    If the kinetic energy of a body becomes four times, then its momentum will be

    A)  \[{{P}_{new}}=3{{p}_{initial~}}\]

    B)  \[{{P}_{new}}=4{{p}_{initial~}}\]

    C)  \[{{P}_{new}}=2{{p}_{initial~}}\]

    D)  \[{{P}_{new}}={{p}_{initial~}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The relation between kinetic energy (K) and momentum (p) is \[P=\sqrt{2mK}\] where m is mass of body. \[\therefore \] \[{{\left( \frac{{{p}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{{{K}_{2}}}{{{K}_{1}}}=4\] Hence,     \[{{p}_{2}}=2{{p}_{1}}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{p}_{new}}=2{{p}_{\text{intial}}}\]
