Two bodies of masses 1 ~kg and 2 ~kg have equal momentum, then the ratio of their kinetic energies is
Options
- A2: 1
- B3: 1
- C1: 3
- D1: 1
Correct answer
A. 2: 1
Step-by-step solution
Given, m₁=1 ~kg , m₂=2 ~kg The kinetic energy is related to momentum of body by the formula given as K= p² 2 m K₁ K₂ = m₂ m₁ = 2 1 ( momentum is same) the formula given as ( + momentum is same)
