A body of mass \(8\,kg\) and another of mass \(2\, kg\) are moving with equal kinetic energy. The ratio of their respective momenta will be.

  1. A \(1:1\)
  2. B \(2:1\)
  3. C \(1:4\)
  4. D \(4:1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2:1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K E=\frac{ P ^{2}}{2 m }\) \(K _{1}=\frac{ P _{1}^{2}}{2(8)} ; K _{2}=\frac{ P _{2}{ }^{2}}{2(2)}\) \(K _{1}= K _{2}\) So, \(4 P _{2}^{2}= P _{1}^{2}\) \(\frac{ P _{1}}{ P _{2}}=2\)
