  4. D \(200\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(100\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({K}_{2}=4 {K}_{1}\) \(\frac{1}{2} m v_{2}^{2}=4 \frac{1}{2} m v_{1}^{2}\) \(v_{2}=2 v_{1}\) \(P=m v\) \(P_{2}=m v_{2}=2 m v_{1}\) \(P_{1}=m v_{1}\) \(\% \,\text { change }=\frac{\Delta P}{P_{1}} \times 100=\frac{2 m v_{1}-m v_{1}}{m v_{1}} \times 100=100\, \%\)
