Two bodies are having kinetic energies in the ratio 16: 9 . If they have same linear momentum, the ratio of their masses respectively is:
Options
- A4 : 3
- B3 : 4
- C16 : 9
- D9 : 16
Correct answer
D. 9 : 16
Step-by-step solution
aligned & K.E. = p ^2 2 ~m & K ₁ ~K ₂ = p ₁^2 2 ~m ₁ 2 ~m ₂ p ₂^2 = m ₂ ~m ₁ = 16 9 & m ₁ ~m ₂ = 9 16 aligned
