Q758
If both the mass and the velocity of a body is increased to twice of their magnitude, the kinetic energy will increase by
A.
2 times
B.
4 times
C.
8 times
AnswerD.
16 times
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
If you double mass and double velocity, you get eight times the kinetic energy, no matter what your first energy is. As an object's kinetic energy increases, and momentum is mass x velocity.
