If the kinetic energy of a body changes by \(20 \%\) then its momentum would change by -

  1. A \(20 \%\)
  2. B \(24 \%\)
  3. C \(40 \%\)
  4. D None of the above
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) None of the above

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\frac{p_f^2}{2 m}-\frac{p_i^2}{2 m}}{\frac{p_i^2}{2 m}} \times 100=20\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{p_f}{p_i}=\sqrt{1.2}=1.095 \Rightarrow \frac{p_f-p_i}{p_i}=0.095\) Therefore \(\%\) increase \(=9.5 \%\)
