Relation between Momentum and K.E


 Relation between Momentum and K.E

Question:
If Momentum of a body is increased by 20%, what is percentage change in the K.E of the body?
a) 40%
b) 44%
c) 20%
d) 10%

Answer:
44%

Solution:
Let the original momentum of the body be P, Then:
P=mv
Momentum is increased by 20%, so new momentum will be:
P' = P + 20%P
P' = P + 0.2P = 1.2P

K.E = 0.5 mv^2
        =0.5 m^2v^2/m                          (multiply and divide by m)
K.E  = 0.5 P^2 / m                              ---------- (i)

New K.E = K.E'
                = 0.5 (P')^2/m
                = 0.5 (1.2P)^2 / m
                = 0.5  (1.44) P^2 / m
                = 1.44 K.E                              (using i)

Percentage Change in K.E = (New K.E - Old K.E) /Old K.E x 100%
                                         = (1.44K.E - K.E)/K.E x 100%
                                         = 44%

Second Method:

Momentum of a body is given by :
P = mv
P can be varied by varying either m or v. Since mass of a body is a constant quantity so we can change momentum of a body by changing its velocity.
Momentum will be increased by 20% if the velocity is changed by 20%, since its a linear relation between the two.
Let
mass = m = 10kg
velocity = v = 100m/s
Momentum with these values = P = 1000 kgm/s
K.E with these values = K.E = 50000 J

After 20% increase velocity becomes = v' = 120m/s
so new momentum = 1200 kgm/s
Change in momentum = (1200-1000)/1000  x 100%
                                 = 0.2 x 100%
                                 = 20%

New K.E = 72000 J
Change in K.E = (72000 - 50000)/50000  x 100%
                       = 0.44 x 100%
                       = 44%

Which agrees with the above result.

Formula to be used for finding the percentage change:

Percentage Change = New Value - Old value/Old value x 100%
In case of increment the change is positive.
In case of decrement the change is negative.

Inverse of a Function

Inverse of a Function In this Post I will discuss the method for finding the inverse of a given function from the 4 options as given in the Entrance tests of Engineering Universities. The very first step before finding the inverse is to make a check whether the function is One-to-One or not.  By One-to-One function we mean that function for example f(x) should not have the same value at two different values of x. In other words for each element of the Domain there should be a distinct element in the range. Check for One-to-One: A function which passes the horizontal line test is a One-to-One function. This means if a horizontal line is drawn it should not cross the function curve at more than one point. Another way to check if a function is One-to-One or not is shown below: If , f(a) = f(b) , implies that a=b , the given function is One-to-One. Consider the following examples: f(x) = 5x + 10 f(a) = 5a + 10 f(b) = 5b + 10 Taking f(a) = f(b) gives, 5a...
