Explanation:
Kinetic energy KE = p²/(2m), where p is momentum. Thus p = √(2m·KE). If KE becomes 4 times, p_new = √(2m·4KE) = 2√(2m·KE) = 2p_initial. Hence momentum doubles. This relationship shows momentum scales with square root of kinetic energy for constant mass. Memory tip: p ∝ √KE when mass constant. This conceptual link between momentum and kinetic energy is frequently tested in competitive exams to assess depth of understanding beyond rote formula memorization. Always derive relationships when direct formulas aren't recalled.
Explanation:
Electrical resistance (R) is Voltage/Current. Voltage (V) is Work/Charge. Work is [ML^2T^-2] and Charge is [AT]. So, V = [ML^2T^-3A^-1]. Therefore, R = V/A = [ML^2T^-3A^-2]. Memorizing the dimensional formula for resistance is highly recommended for competitive exams.
