Kinetic Energy & Momentum

Two masses of 1 g1\text{ g} and 9 g9\text{ g} are moving with equal kinetic energies. The ratio of the magnitudes of their respective linear momenta is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Equal KE: p∝mp \propto \sqrt{m}.
  2. p1p2=19=13\frac{p_1}{p_2} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{9}} = \frac{1}{3}
  3. So the answer is (c) 1:31 : 3.
