Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology If the linear momentum of a particle is doubled, then its kinetic energy will be Doubled Halved Quadrupled Remains same Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself C Correct answer Explanation Kinetic energy is related to linear momentum by the formula KE = p^2 / (2m), where p is momentum and m is mass. If the momentum p is doubled (2p), the kinetic energy becomes (2p)^2 / (2m) = 4 * (p^2 / (2m)), meaning it increases by a factor of four.
