If kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300% then percentage change in momentum will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
: Let m be the mass of the body and 
and 
be the initial and final velocities of the body respectively.
Initial kinetic energy 
Final kinetic energy 
Initial kinetic energy is increased 300% to get the final kinetic energy.
or 
(i) Initial momentum 
Final momentum 
So momentum has increased 100%.
