The kinetic energy of light body and a heavy body is same. Which one of the following statement is true? (a) Both bodies have same momentum (b) Heavy body has greater momentum (c) Lighter body has greater momentum (d) A body having high velocity has greater momentum

Answer: (b). p = √(2mK); for equal K, p ∝ √(m). The heavier body has greater momentum, so the answer is (b).
