Correct option is (4) Increase √2 times

Given,

The kinetic energy of a particle is doubled.

Kinetic energy, \(\mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2\)

Momentum, \({P}=\mathrm{mv}\)

Where,

m is Mass

v is Volume

Kinetic energy:

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2\)

Rearranging this equation,

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2}{2}\) ......(1)

Multiplying both numerator and denominator of equation (1) by m

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2 \times \mathrm{m}}{2 \times \mathrm{m}} \)

\( \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{v}^2}{2 \mathrm{~m}} \) ......(2)

The equation to find momentum is \(P=\mathrm{mv}\)

Substituting this in equation (2)

\( \mathrm{E}=\frac{(\mathrm{mv})^2}{2 \mathrm{~m}}\)

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^2}{2 \mathrm{~m}} \) ......(3)

Rearranging this equation (3)

\(\mathrm{P}^2=2 \mathrm{mE} \)

\(\mathrm{P}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mE}}\) .....(4)

From this equation (4)

\(P \propto \sqrt{E}\)

Here, the kinetic energy of a particle is doubled (2E),

That is,

\(\mathrm{P} \propto \sqrt{2 \mathrm{E}}\)

Therefore, Kinetic energy increase \(\sqrt{2}\) times.
