Imagine that a particular non-rotating object is moving in a straight line. If the object changes its motion so that its kinetic energy is doubled, what happens to its linear momentum?

(a)   The linear momentum increases to approximately 1.4 times what it was (i.e., it increases by the square root of two).
(b)   The linear momentum also doubles.
(c)   The linear momentum increases to 4 times what it was (i.e., by an amount equal to the square root of two).
