If an object of mass 10 kg is moving with a uniform speed of 10 m/s, then the linear momentum and the kinetic energy of the object, respectively, are

  1. A. 100 N.s and 500 J
  2. B. 100 N.s and 1000 J
  3. C. 200 N.s and 500 J
  4. D. 200 N.s and 1000 J

Correct Answer: A. 100 N.s and 500 J

Explanation

Linear momentum p = mv = 10 \times 10 = 100 \text{ N.s}. Kinetic energy K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (10)^2 = 500 \text{ J}.
