1.	If the linear momentum is increased by 50%, then kinetic energy will be increased by
Answer» 50% 100% 125% 25% Solution :Kinetic energy of a BODY, `K = (p^2)/(2m)` where p is the momentum of the body and m is the mass of the body. `p. = p + (50)/(100) p = 3/2 p` Assuming m remains constant `:. (K^.)/(K) = ((P.)/(P))^(2) = 9/4` % INCREASE in kinetic energy = `(K. - K)/(K) xx 100%` `= ((K.)/(K) - 1) xx 100% = (9/4 - 1) xx 100% = 125%`.
