Two bodies of mass 4g4g and 25g25g are moving with equal kinetic energies. The ratio of magnitude of their linear momentum is :

Options

  1. A3:53: 5
  2. B5:45: 4
  3. C2:52: 5
  4. D4:54: 5

Correct answer

C. 2:52: 5

Step-by-step solution

The kinetic energy (K)\left(K\right) of an object is given by

{K=12mv2=p22m...(1)\begin{cases}K & = & \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2} \\ & = & \dfrac{{p}^{2}}{2m} . . . \left(1\right)\end{cases}

Following equation (1), for the two given bodies, it can be written that

p122m1=p222m2⇒p1p2=m1m2=425=25{p}_{1}^{2}2{m}_{1} = {p}_{2}^{2}2{m}_{2} ⇒ \dfrac{{p}_{1}}{{p}_{2}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{4}{25}} = \dfrac{2}{5}
