MCQ
A body of mass $8\,kg$ and another of mass $2\, kg$ are moving with equal kinetic energy. The ratio of their respective momenta will be.
  • A
    $1:1$
  • $2:1$
  • C
    $1:4$
  • D
    $4:1$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2:1$
b
$K E=\frac{ P ^{2}}{2 m }$

$K _{1}=\frac{ P _{1}^{2}}{2(8)} ; K _{2}=\frac{ P _{2}{ }^{2}}{2(2)}$

$K _{1}= K _{2}$

So,

$4 P _{2}^{2}= P _{1}^{2}$

$\frac{ P _{1}}{ P _{2}}=2$
