Correct Answer
Option C
Explanation

To determine the kinetic energy of a body with a given linear momentum \( p \) and mass \( m \), we use the relationship between kinetic energy, momentum, and mass. The kinetic energy (\( KE \)) of a body can be expressed in terms of its momentum and mass using the formula: \[ KE = \frac{p^2}{2m} \] This formula is derived from the basic definitions of momentum and kinetic…Read More
