Kinetic Energy & Momentum

A 66 kg mass and 1.51.5 kg mass are moving with equal kinetic energies. The ratio of the magnitudes of their linear momenta is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Equal KE: p=2mK∝mp = \sqrt{2mK} \propto \sqrt{m}.
  2. p1p2=61.5=4=2\frac{p_1}{p_2} = \sqrt{\frac{6}{1.5}} = \sqrt{4} = 2
  3. So the answer is (b) 2:12 : 1.
