Expert Answer:

begin mathsize 12px style The space relation space between space KE space and space momentum space is space KE space equals space fraction numerator straight p squared over denominator 2 straight m end fraction So space KE space is space directly space proportional space to space the space square space of space the space momentum. So space taking space the space ratios space we space get fraction numerator KE subscript 1 over denominator straight p subscript 1 superscript 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator KE subscript 1 over denominator straight p subscript 2 superscript 2 end fraction But space straight p subscript 2 space equals space 2 straight p subscript 1 rightwards arrow fraction numerator KE subscript 1 over denominator straight p subscript 1 superscript 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator KE subscript 2 over denominator 4 straight p subscript 1 superscript 2 end fraction therefore KE subscript 2 space equals space 4 KE subscript 1 Thus comma space KE space will space increase space by space straight a space factor space of space 4. end style
