The graph betwee `sqrt(E)` and `(1)/(p)` is (E=kinetic energy and p= momentum)

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`KE=p^2/(2m) implies sqrtE =p/(sqrt2m)implies sqrtE/p ` = constant
Graph between p and `sqrtE` is parabola but graph between `1/4` and `sqrtE` is hyperbola.

Relation between kinetic energy and momentum Let us consider a body of mass 'm' having a velocity 'v', then momentum of the body P = mass xx velocity P = m xx v rArr v = (P)/(m) " "...(1) From definition, kinetic energy (K.E) of the body K.E = (1)/(2) mv^(2)" "...(2) Now putting the value of (1) in (2) we have K.E = (1)/(2)m ((P)/(m))^(2) K.E. = (1)/(2)m (P^(2))/(m^(2)) = (1)/(2) (P^(2))/(m) = (P^(2))/(2m)" "...(3) Thus we can write P^(2) = 2m xx K.E rArr P = sqrt(2m xx K.E) Thus momentum = sqrt(2 xx "mass" xx "kinetic energy") What will be the momentum of a body of mass 100 g having kinetic energy of 20 J ?
