1)

A particle of mass M is moving in a horizontal circle of radius R with uniform speed v. When the particle moves from one point to a diametrically opposite point, its


A) momentum does not change

B) momentum changes by 2Mv

C) kinetic energy changes by $\frac{Mv^{2}}{4}$

D) Kinetic energy changes by $Mv^{2}$

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Given, Velocity of particle =v

 Change in momentum = final momentum-initial momentum= Mv-(-Mv)=2Mv
