  1. there will be a 1.5625 times or a 56.25 % increase in kinetic energy


  2. Let m = mass,

    v1 = initial velocity

    v2 = velocity when momentum has increased

    Momentum = mass * velocity

    mv2 = mv1 + 25% of mv1

    v2 = v1 + 25% of v1

    Or, v2 = 1.25 v1

    Initial KE = K1 = 1/2 mv1^2

    Final KE = K2 = 1/2 mv2^2

    Increase in KE = 1/2 m(v2^2 - v1^2) = 1/2 m(1.25^2 * v1^2 - v1^2)

    = 1/2 mv1^2 (1.25^2 - 1)

    % increase in KE = 1/2 mv1^2 (1.25^2 - 1)/(1/2 mv1^2)  * 100%

    = (1.25^2 - 1) * 100 % = 56.25 %


  3. It will be around 56%...not very sure
