Kinetic Energy and Momentum: Practice Problem & Solution

When the velocity of a body is doubled :
its kinetic energy is doubled
its potential energy is doubled
its acceleration is doubled
its momentum is doubled

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Kinetic Energy and Momentum. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Momentum of an object is P = m.v

So, when velocity is doubled momentum also doubles
