    When the mass and velocity of the body are doubled/ what happens to its kinetic energy?

    A)  It gets doubled.

    B)  It gets quadrupled.

    C)  It becomes eight times.  

    D)  It becomes one fourth.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] On doubling the mass and velocity of the body,             \[m'=2m;\,\,v'=2v,\,\,\therefore \,\,K.E.'=\frac{1}{2}m'{{(v')}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times (2m){{(2v)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 8m{{v}^{2}}=8\,\,K.E.\]
