CBSE Class 9 Answered

Let the initial velocity be u and new velocity be v.

K.E = 1/2 m u2

New K.E = 1/2 (3m) v2                      

Since, mass of a body is increased three times.

 Now,

1/2 m u=  3/2 m v2  

v = u / √3

v / u = 1/ √3

Therefore, velocity should be reduced to 1/√3 times of the initial value.
