Two bodies A and B are moving with equal velocities. The mass of B is double that of A . In this context, which one of the following statements is correct?
Options
- AMomentum of B will be double that of A.
- BMomentum of A will be double that of B.
- CMomentum of B will be four times that of A.
- DMomenta of both A and B will be equal.
Correct answer
A. Momentum of B will be double that of A.
Step-by-step solution
As we know Momentum P = mv Since, V_A=V_B=V , and m₀=2 m_A for A, P_A=m_A v_A for B P_B= (2 m_A ) v_A P _ B =2 P _ A
