    If the kinetic energy of a body is increased 2 times, its momentum will

    A)  half

    B)  remain unchanged

    C)  be doubled

    D)  increase \[\sqrt{2}\]times

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Kinetic energy of particle, \[K=\frac{p_{1}^{2}}{2m}\] \[p_{1}^{2}=2mK\] When kinetic energy\[=2K\] \[p_{2}^{2}=2m\times 2K\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[p_{2}^{2}=2p_{1}^{2}\]or\[{{p}_{2}}=\sqrt{2}{{p}_{1}}\]
