Two balls of masses 2 g and 6 g are moving with kinetic energy in the ratio of 3 : 1 . What is the ratio of their linear momentum?
Options
- A1   :   1
- B2   :   1
- C1   :   2
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. 1   :   1
Step-by-step solution
K = 1 2 m v 2 = 1 2 × m ( m v 2 ) 2 = m v 2 m = m v 2 2 m or K = p 2 2 m ∴ K 1 K 2 = p 1 2 2 m 1 × 2 m 2 p 2 2 or 3 1 = p 1 p 2 × 6 2 ∴ p 1 : p 2 = 1 : 1
