Q: If the kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300%, its momentum will increase by

Kinetic energy \$k =\frac {P^2}{2m}\$where, P is momentum and m is mass. \$k_1=k, k_2=k+300\$ % of \$k=4k\$\$\Rightarrow \frac {P_2}{P_1}=\sqrt {\frac{k_2}{k_1}}=\sqrt{\frac{4k}{k}}=2\$\$\Rightarrow P_2=P_1 + 100\$% pf \$P_1\$Hence, momentum will increase by 100%.

Q: If the linear momentum of a body is increased by 50 %, the Kinetic energy will be increased by

If the initial momentum is \$p_0\$, the initial kinetic energy is \$K_0=\dfrac{p_0^2}{2m}\$When momentum is increased by 50 %, the momentum becomes \$p=p_0+(p_0\times \dfrac{50}{100})=(3/2)p_0\$ Now kinetic energy, \$K=\dfrac{p^2}{2m}=(9/4)\times (p_0^2/2m)=(9/4)K_0\$Thus the percentage increased in kinetic energy \$=\dfrac{K-K_0}{K_0}\times 100=[(9/4)-1]100=125\$ %

Accepted Answer

Kinetic energy $k =\frac {P^2}{2m}$where, P is momentum and m is mass. $k_1=k, k_2=k+300$ % of $k=4k$$\Rightarrow \frac {P_2}{P_1}=\sqrt {\frac{k_2}{k_1}}=\sqrt{\frac{4k}{k}}=2$$\Rightarrow P_2=P_1 + 100$% pf $P_1$Hence, momentum will increase by 100%.

Question 4

Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of $1500\ kg$ moving at the velocity of $60\ km/h$?

Accepted Answer

When a object is moving with a constant velocity, it possess K.E$K.E = \dfrac{1}{2} \times m \times v^{2}$So, in order to bring the object to rest i.e its same magnitude of energy is required so, as the final final energy comes to zero.$v =60 km/hr = 16.66 m/s$So, magnitude of work that needs to be done $ = \dfrac{1}{2} \times m \times v^{2}$Hence, work required to stop the car $= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1500 \times 16.66^{2}$ $ =208166.7 J = 208.17 kJ$

Question 5

Derive the formula for kinetic energy.

Accepted Answer

Let an object of mass m, move with uniform velocity u. Let us displace it by s, due to constant force F, acting on it. Work done on the object of mass 'm' is $W=F \times  s$ ...(i) Due to the force, velocity changes to v and the acceleration produced is 'a'. Relationship between v, u, a and s can be given by formula $v^2- u^2 = 2as $$\therefore s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$..........(ii)$F=ma$............(iii)Substituting (ii) and (iii) in (i) we get$W =F \times s$$=ma\times \dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$If u=0,(object starts at rest)$W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$Work done=Change in kinetic energy$\therefore E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Question 6

If the linear momentum of a body is increased by 50 %, the Kinetic energy will be increased by

Accepted Answer

If the initial momentum is $p_0$, the  initial kinetic energy is $K_0=\dfrac{p_0^2}{2m}$When momentum is increased by 50 %, the momentum becomes $p=p_0+(p_0\times \dfrac{50}{100})=(3/2)p_0$ Now kinetic energy, $K=\dfrac{p^2}{2m}=(9/4)\times (p_0^2/2m)=(9/4)K_0$Thus the percentage increased in kinetic energy $=\dfrac{K-K_0}{K_0}\times 100=[(9/4)-1]100=125$ %

Question 7

A ball whose kinetic energy is E, is thrown at an angle of $45^o$ with the horizontal, its kinetic energy at the highest point of its flight will be?

Accepted Answer

The kinetic energy of the ball at the highest point is as follows:the expression for kinetic energy is $KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$.So, the kinetic energy at the highest point is,$KE_h=\dfrac{1}{2} m(v\cos(45^\circ))^2$$KE_h=\dfrac{1}{2} m(v^2)(\cos(45^\circ))^2$$KE_h=E(\cos(45^\circ))^2$$KE_h=\dfrac{E}{2}$so, at the highest point the kinetic energy is $\dfrac{E}{2}$.

(1)$$\textbf{Step 2: Final situation}$Man speeds up by $1m/s$ so new speed of man $=V+1$$K.E_{man}=K.E_{boy}$$\dfrac {1}{2} M(V + 1)^{2} = \dfrac {1}{2} \left (\dfrac {M}{2}\right ) V_{1}^{2}$                                                                                     $.... (2)$$\textbf{Step 3: Divide equation (1) by equation (2)}$$\dfrac {V^{2}}{(V + 1)^{2}} = \dfrac {1}{2}$$\Rightarrow V = \dfrac {1}{\sqrt {2} - 1}$Hence option (C) is correct.
