Kinetic Energy & Momentum

If a lighter body of mass 'M1M_1' and velocity 'V1V_1' and a heavy body (mass M2M_2 and velocity V2V_2) have the same kinetic energy then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Momentum MV=2MKMV = \sqrt{2MK}; for equal KK, p∝Mp \propto \sqrt{M}.
  2. M2>M1⇒M2V2>M1V1M_2 > M_1 \Rightarrow M_2V_2 > M_1V_1, so the answer is (d).
