The kinetic energy of a moving particle is given by
E=21mu2...(1)
When the final velocity of the particle becomes twice the initial velocity, the kinetic energy of the particle can be written as
nE==21m(2u)2−u221m(3u2)...(2)
Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and solve to calculate the value of n.
EnE=⇒21mu221m(3u2)n=3
