Question

If two bodies one light and other heavy have equal kinetic energies which one has grater momentum

• A. Heavy body
• B. Light body
• C. both
• D. it depends on the actual velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Heavy body

If two bodies have equal kinetic energies, the heavier body has greater momentum. This is because momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and the heavier body has a greater mass. This can be calculated using the formula: $\frac{P1}{P2} = \sqrt{\frac {m 1} {m 2}}$ where P is momentum, m is mass, and V is velocity.
