If momentum of a body is increased by 20 % , then its kinetic energy increases by :
Solution
A body of mass , moving with momentum and kinetic energy are related as follows,
.
As the momentum of the body is increased by , then its momentum becomes,
and the mass of the body remains unchanged. So, kinetic energy is directly related to the square of momentum.Hence, new kinetic energy will be,
.
So, the percentage change in kinetic energy
.
