The momentum increases by a factor of 2
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.
The kinetic energy of the rocket is:
(1)
where
m is the mass
v is the velocity
The momentum of the rocket is
(2)
From eq.(1) we get
and substituting into (2),
Now in this problem we have:
- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:
- The mass is reduced by half:
Substituting, we find the new momentum:
So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.
