Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum
A
remains unchanged in accord with the conservation of momentum.
B
doubles
C
quadruples
D
decreases
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is C Doubled.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the velocity of a body is doubled then its momentum doubles because velocity is directly proportional to momentum.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the velocity of the object is doubled the momentum of the object also gets doubled.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, when the object’s speed doubles, its kinetic energy doubles to four times the initial kinetic energy.
