A] We know, KE = m0c^2 *(1/sqrt(1- v^2/c^2) -1)
Here, 1.5 = (1/sqrt(1- v^2/c^2) -1)
2.5 = 1/sqrt(1- v^2/c^2)
sqrt(1- v^2/c^2) = 0.4
1 - v^2/c^2 = 0.16
1 - 0.16= v^2/c^2
v = sqrt (0.84 ) c
= 0.9165c answer
B] KE = m0c^2 *(1/sqrt(1- v^2/c^2) -1)
1.5*3* m0c^2 = m0c^2 *(1/sqrt(1- v^2/c^2) -1)
4.5 = (1/sqrt(1- v^2/c^2) -1)
5.5 = 1/sqrt(1- v^2/c^2)
sqrt(1- v^2/c^2) = 1/5.5
1- v^2/c^2 = ( 1/5.5)^2
v^2/c^2 = 1 - ( 1/5.5)^2 = 0.9669
V = sqrt(0.9669) c = 0.9833 c
increase in v = 0.9833/ 0.9165
= 1.073 times answer
