5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
medium
If kinetic energy of a body is increased by $300\%$ than percentage change in momentum will be
A
$100$
B
$150$
C
$\sqrt {300} $
D
$175$
(AIPMT-2002)
Solution
(a)Let initial kinetic energy, ${E_1} = E$
Final kinetic energy, ${E_2} = E + 300\% $ of $E = 4E$
As $P \propto \sqrt E $
==>$\frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{E_2}}}{{{E_1}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{4E}}{E}} = 2$
==> ${P_2} = 2{P_1}$
==>${P_2} = {P_1} + 100\% $ of ${P_1}$
i.e. Momentum will increase by $ 100\%.$
