1(ii)
The kinetic energy of a given body depends on the:
- (a)position
- (b)centre of gravity of body
- (c)momentum
- (d)displacement

momentum
Reason — As kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv 2
If we multiply and divide by m then we get, $\frac{\text{(mv)}^2}{2\text{m}}$
As mv = momentum (p), so
kinetic energy = $\frac{\text{p}^2}{2\text{m}}$
Therefore, kinetic energy of a given body depends on the momentum.
