The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

∴ \(r = \frac{mv}{qB}\) 

\(\frac{\sqrt{2m(KE)}}{qB}\)

\(r_1: r_2: r_3 = \frac{\sqrt m_1}{q_1} : \frac{\sqrt m_2}{q_2} : \frac{\sqrt m_3}{q_3}\)

\(\frac{\sqrt 1}{1}:\frac{\sqrt 2}{1}:\frac{\sqrt 4}{2}\)

\(1: \sqrt2 : 1\)

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy of an object is the measure of the work it does as a result of its motion. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that an object or particle has as a result of its movement. When an object is subjected to a net force, it accelerates and gains kinetic energy as a result. Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object or particle defined by both its mass and its velocity. Any combination of motions is possible, including translation (moving along a route from one spot to another), rotation around an axis, vibration, and any combination of motions.
