Answer:

(2) Increases with increasing the relativistic momentum  

Explanation:

We know that kinetic energy of a moving body of mass m and velocity v is given by [tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Multiplying both side by mass [tex]m\times KE=\frac{1}{2}m\times mv^2[/tex]

[tex]2mKE=(mv)^2[/tex]

We know that momentum p =mv

So [tex]2mKE=p^2[/tex]

[tex]p=\sqrt{2mKE}[/tex]

So from the relation we can see that kinetic energy is proportional to the momentum so if we increase the momentum then kinetic energy also increases
