Relating Kinectic energy and momentum

[student 1]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Relate Kinetic energy and momentum, i.e. show that K=pv/2


2. Relevant equations



[b]3. The attempt at a solution[/b
I don't know what equation to begin with to show this!

[Knissp]

Start with the definition of kinetic energy: K = 1/2 * m * v^2

Does that help? Also, it would be good to know the definition of momentum (p).

ok I got it I thought it required more than that. You have (1*(MV)*V)/2. MV being your momentum, Thank you!!
