    If momentum is increased by 20%, then the kinetic energy will increase by

    A)  40%                                      

    B)  44% 

    C)  66%                                      

    D)  50%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The kinetic energy \[E=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2m}{{(mv)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{2m}\]                              ( \[\because \] \[p=mv\])                 \[\therefore \]  \[E\propto {{p}^{2}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{p_{1}^{2}}{p_{2}^{2}}\]            ??(i) Given, \[{{E}_{1}}=E,\] \[{{p}_{1}}=p,\] \[{{p}_{2}}=p+\frac{20p}{100}=\frac{6p}{5}\] So, from Eq. (i)                 \[\frac{E}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{{{(6p/5)}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{E}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{25}{36}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{E}_{2}}}{E}=\frac{36}{25}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{E}_{2}}-E}{E}=\frac{36-25}{25}=\frac{11}{25}\] So, percentage increase                 \[=\left( \frac{{{E}_{2}}-E}{E}\times 100 \right)\]                 \[=\frac{11}{25}\times 100=44%\]
