P=sqrt(2mE)P=2mE

Explanation:

P:"momentum of object"P:momentum of object
E:"The kinetic energy of object"E:The kinetic energy of object
m:"mass of object"m:mass of object
v:"velocity of object"v:velocity of object

"momentum is expressed as "P=m*vmomentum is expressed as P=mv

P^2=m^2*v^2P2=m2v2

P^2/m=m*v^2P2m=mv2

color(red)(1/2)*p^2/m=color(red)(1/2)*m*v^212p2m=12mv2

"The kinetic energy of an object is written a s "E=1/2*m*v^2The kinetic energy of an object is written a s E=12mv2

P^2/(2*m)=EP22m=E

P^2=2*m*EP2=2mE

P=sqrt(2mE)P=2mE
