    The momentum of a particle is increased by 100% then kinetic energy increases by :

    A)  100%                                   

    B)  300%

    C)  200%                                   

    D)  150%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Initial kinetic energy is \[K=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{2m}\]                  ??..(1) When momentum increases by 100%. It becomes \[p=p+p=2p\] Final kinetic energy,                 \[K=\frac{p{{}^{2}}}{2m}=\frac{{{(2p)}^{2}}}{2m}=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{m}\]         ??..(2) From equations (1) and (2), we; get                           \[\frac{K}{K}=\frac{2{{p}^{2}}/m}{{{p}^{2}}/2m}=4\] or            \[K=4K\] Percentage increases                 \[=\frac{(4K-K)}{K}\times 100\]                 \[=300%\]
