When kinetic energy of a body becomes 36 times of its original value, the percentage increase in the momentum of the body will be

Asked in JEE Main 6th April 2nd Shift 2024 · Change of kinetic energy and momentum

• (1) 60%
• (2) 500%
• (3) 6%
• (4) 600%

Step-by-step solution

Why the other options are wrong

• (1) No single slip gives 60%. Sanity check: the momentum becomes 6 times, a change of several hundred percent.
• (3) Comes from reading the factor 6 as 6%.
• (4) Comes from reporting the new momentum (600% of the old) instead of the increase.
