If the speed of a particle moving at a relativistic speed is doubled, its linear momentum will

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The magnitude of linear momentum is given by,

P=mv

The relativistic mass of the particle is,

Thus, magnitude of linear momentum is,

Using binomial expansion, we get,

When the speed of the particle is doubled then,

Thus, the new value of linear momentum is more than double.

So, correct option is B.
