The kinetic energy of a body is 100 J and momentum 50 kg m/s. Mass is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The kinetic energy of a body is 100 J and momentum 50 kg m/s. Mass is
A. 12.5 kg
B. 25 kg
C. 4 kg
D. 2 kg
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
K = p²/(2m) => 100 = 2500/(2m) => m = 2500/200 = 12.5 kg.
