Kinetic Energy & Momentum

A particle of mass m1 is moving with a velocity v1 and another particle of mass m2 is moving with a velocity v2. Both of them have the same momentum but their different kinetic energies are E1 and E2 respectively. If m1 > m2 then:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. E=p22mE = \frac{p^2}{2m}; for equal pp, E∝1mE \propto \frac{1}{m}.
  2. m1>m2⇒E1<E2m_1 > m_2 \Rightarrow E_1 < E_2, so the answer is (a).
