For a body moving with relativistic speed, if the velocity is doubled, then

A

Its linear momentum is doubled

B

Its linear momentum will be less than double

C

Its linear momentum will be more than double

D

Its linear momentum remains unchanged

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Relativistic momentum ` = (m_0v)/(sqrt(1 - v^2//c^2))`
If velocity is doubled then the relativistic mass also increases. Thus value of linear momentum will be more than double.
