Question

The kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300%.Find the percentage change in its momentum.

Open in App
Solution

let earlier KE=x after collison KE=4x (1/2 *mass *velocity^2)
so earlier velocity =v then later on velocity=2v (as momentum =mass*velocity)
change in %momentum=2mv-mv/mv*100=100%
