Options:
  • A \( 2.5 \mathrm{~J} \)
  • B \( 3.5 \mathrm{~J} \)
  • C \( 4.5 \mathrm{~J} \)
  • D \( 5.5 \mathrm{~J} \)

The correct answer is: \( 4.5 \mathrm{~J} \)
Given, mass, \( m=4 \mathrm{~kg} ; \) momentum, \( m v=6 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~s} \)
Therefore, kinetic energy
\( =\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{(m v)^{2}}{m}=\frac{6 \times 6}{2 \times 4}=\frac{36}{8}=4.5 \mathrm{~J} \)
Thus, kinetic energy of body \( =4.5 \mathrm{~J} \)
