The momentum of a body is increased by 25 the kinetic energy is increased by about

Answered by admin @



The relation between kinetic energy, K and momentum p is the following.

K=p^2/2m…………(1)

Since, body is the same, mass remains constant.

If momentum increases by 25%, then new momentum will be

p’=1.25 p. Hence, new kinetic energy will be K’=(1.25)^2p^2/2m……….(2)

Then, (K’-K)/K=[p^2/2m(1.25)^2–1)]/(p^2/2m)=[(1.25)^2–1]=1.56–1.=0.56

Therefore % increase in kinetic energy=0.56x100=56%.
