Answer

Given,

mass = 50gm = 0.05kg

momentum = 500 gcm / s = 0.005 kgm / s

KE = momentum2 / 2 x mass

Work done=KE=momentum22×massWork done=KE=0.00522×0.05KE=250J\text{Work done} = KE = \dfrac {momentum^2}{2 \times mass} \\[0.5em] \text{Work done} = KE = \dfrac{0.005^2} {2 \times 0.05} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow KE =250 J \\[0.5em]
