AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Physics Kinetic Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

If kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300% than percentage change in momentum will be

A

100%

B

150%

C

265%

D

73.2%

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

If KE increases by 300%, it becomes 4 times. KE = 0.5mv², so v² becomes 4 times. Thus, v becomes 2 times, and momentum p = mv becomes 2 times, i.e., a 100% increase.
