    If the kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300 %, the momentum of the body is increased by

    A)  50%            

    B)  100%

    C)  200%           

    D)  300%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : We know that\[{{p}^{2}}=\]link where p denotes momentum and k denotes kinetic energy of the body. Let initial \[K.E=100A:\] \[\therefore \]Finial \[K.E=400A;\] \[\therefore \] \[p_{1}^{2}=2m(100k)\] \[p_{2}^{2}=2m(400k)\] Fractional change in momentum \[=\frac{{{p}_{2}}-{{p}_{1}}}{{{p}_{1}}}\] % change in momentum\[=\frac{({{p}_{2}}-{{p}_{1}})}{{{p}_{1}}}\times 100\] \[=\left( \frac{{{p}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}}-1 \right)\times 100\left( \sqrt{\frac{4}{1}}-1 \right)\times 100\] \[=(2-1)\times 100\] \[\therefore \]Increase in momentum = 100%
