A force of 1 N acts upon a mass of 1 kg for 1 second and gives it a momentum P and kinetic energy E. The same force acts upon the same mass for a displacement of 1 m and gives it a momentum P' and kinetic energy E'. Then?

Solution
We know Kinetic energy12mv2 and momentum p=mv
Since for both the cases the quantity of force and mass are same thus kinetic energy and momentum can be related as
2K.Ev2=pvK.E=pv2
As same amount of forceis applied to same amountof mass its velocity will be same for both the case.
