Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{M_2}{M_1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}_1}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{p}_2}\right|\)

\(\mathrm{KE}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^2}{2 \mathrm{M}} ; \mathrm{p} \text { same }\)

\(\mathrm{KE} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{~m}}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{KE}_1}{\mathrm{KE}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^2 / 2 \mathrm{M}_1}{\mathrm{p}^2 / 2 \mathrm{M}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{M}_2}{\mathrm{M}_1}\)
