    If the linear momentum of a body is increased by 50 %, then the kinetic energy of that body increases by

    A)  100 %         

    B)  125 %

    C)  225 %          

    D)  25 %

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Kinetic energy of the body, \[K=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{2m}\] Since, the mass remains constant \[\therefore \] \[K\propto {{p}^{2}}\] \[\frac{{{K}_{2}}}{{{K}_{1}}}=\frac{p_{2}^{2}}{p_{1}^{2}}={{\left[ \frac{150}{100} \right]}^{2}}=\frac{9}{4}\] \[100\left[ \frac{{{K}_{2}}}{{{K}_{1}}}-1 \right]=\left( \frac{9}{4}-1 \right)\times 100=125%\]
