Work Power Energy Question 1

Question 1 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 1)

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

(1) $3: 5$

(2) $5: 4$

(3) $2: 5$

(4) $4: 5$

Show Answer

Answer: (3)

Solution:

$\frac{P _1^{2}}{2 m _1}=\frac{P _2^{2}}{2 m _2}$

$\frac{P _1}{P _2}=\sqrt{\frac{m _1}{m _2}}=\frac{2}{5}$
