The linear momentum of a particle of mass 1 kg and kinetic energy 2 J is equal to

A

`2 kg-ms^(-1)`

B

`4 kg-ms^(-1)`

C

`sqrt(2) kg-ms^(-1)`

D

`4sqrt(2) kg-ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As `(p^2)/(2m) = KE`
` implies(P^2)/(1) = 2`
` P = sqrt(2) kg-m//s`
