    If the momentum of body is increased by \[100%\] then the percentage increase in the kinetic energy will be

    A) \[330%\]                             

    B) \[225%\]

    C) \[200%\]                             

    D) \[300%\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Momentum is given by                 \[p=\sqrt{2m\,\,{{E}_{k}}}\] or kinetic energy\[{{E}_{{{k}_{1}}}}=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{2m}\] If momentum is increased by \[100%\] then new momentum\[=2p\] \[\therefore \]New kinetic energy will be                 \[{{E}_{{{k}_{2}}}}=\frac{{{(2p)}^{2}}}{2m}\] Percentage increase in kinetic energy is given by                 \[=\frac{{{E}_{{{k}_{2}}}}-{{E}_{{{k}_{1}}}}}{{{E}_{{{k}_{1}}}}}\times 100\]                 \[=300%\]
