A body of mass 10 kg is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s. The mass of the body is doubled and velocity is halved. Its initial kinetic energy is:

  1. 200 J
  2. 4000 J
  3. 2000 J
  4. 1000 J

Answer

2000 J

Reason — Given,

Initial velocity = 20 m/s.

Mass = 10 kg

Kinetic Energy = mv22\dfrac{\text{mv}^2}{2}

Substituting we get,

Kinetic Energy = 10 x (20) 22\dfrac{\text{10 x (20) }^2}{2} = 10 x 4002\dfrac{\text{10 x 400}}{2} = 2000 J
