Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
We know that momentum is directly proportional to the velocity and kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
K.E=12mv2
 p=mv
So, when the momentum is doubled, mass remains constant and the velocity is doubled as a result of which the kinetic energy becomes four times the original kinetic energy.
