Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2 ms-1

Concept:

  • Kinetic energy (K.E): The energy possessed by a body by the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.

The expression for kinetic energy is given by:

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}\)

Where m = mass of the body and v = velocity of the body

  • Momentum (p): The product of mass and velocity is called momentum.

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

The relationship between the kinetic energy (KE or k) and Linear momentum is given by:

As we know,

 \(KE = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}\)

Divide numerator and denominator by m, we get

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{m^2}{v^2}}}{m} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{\;{{\left( {mv} \right)}^2}}}{m} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{p^2}}}{m}\;\) [p = mv]

\(\therefore KE = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{p^2}}}{m}\;\)

\(p = \sqrt {2mKE} \)

Calculation:

Let, m be the mass of the body and v be the velocity of the body. 
Now, momentum of the body is

p = mv

Kinetic energy is

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}\)

As per given condition,

Say,

\(Momentum = Kinetic\;energy = x\)

\(\Rightarrow mv= {1\over2}mv^2=x\)

\(\Rightarrow {1\over2}mv^2=x\)

\(\Rightarrow {1\over2m}m^2v^2=x\)

we know (mv)2 = x2

\(\Rightarrow {1\over2m}x^2=x\)

\(\Rightarrow x=2m\)

\(\Rightarrow mv=2m \Rightarrow v=2\)

Hence the correct answer is 2 m/s.
