If the kinetic energy of bodu increased by 300% its momentum is increased by​

Answer»

Answer:

41.42%

Explanation:

Originally-

K.E = \frac{1}{2} <klux>MV</klux>^{2}

MOMENTUM (P)= mv

Now K.E. is increased by 300%

We know that mass of a body will ALWAYS remain constant.

So only the velocity of the body will change.

So, NEW K.E. (KE') = K.E. + 300% of K.E.= KE + \frac{300}{100}* KE= 4KE

Therefore KE' = 4KE

so, \frac{1}{2} mv'^{2} = 4* \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

There fore, v'^{2} = 2v^{2}

v' = \sqrt{2}v

So New momentum (P')=  mv'

P' =\sqrt{2}mv

So increase in momentum = P'-P

= \sqrt{2}mv- mv= (\sqrt{2}-1) mv

Increase % ={ (\sqrt{2}-1)mv/mv}* 100

Increase %= 41.42%
