When the mass and speed of the body are doubled, the kinetic energy of the body

  1. A becomes double
  2. B becomes four times
  3. C becomes eight times
  4. D remains unchanged
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) becomes eight times

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, the mass and speed of body are doubled. Then, final kinetic energy, \[ \mathrm{KE}_f=\frac{1}{2}(2 m)(2 v)^2=\left(\frac{1}{2} m v^2\right) 8 \] where, \(m\) and \(v\) are initial mass and speed. Here, initial kinetic energy, \(\mathrm{KE}_i=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\)…
