A body of mass 2 kg has momentum 10 kg m/s. Its kinetic energy is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of mass 2 kg has momentum 10 kg m/s. Its kinetic energy is
A. 25 J
B. 50 J
C. 5 J
D. 20 J
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Kinetic energy K = p²/(2m) = (10)²/(2×2) = 100/4 = 25 J. Also, velocity v = p/m = 5 m/s, K = ½×2×5² = 25 J. Formula p²/(2m) is useful for quick computation. Always ensure units: kg, m/s, J.
