Relating Kinectic energy and momentum

[student 1]

Homework Statement

Relate Kinetic energy and momentum, i.e. show that K=pv/2

Homework Equations

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!
