The mass of two substances are 4gm and 9gm

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

The mass of two substances are $4gm$ and $9gm$ respectively. If their kinetic energies are same, then the ratio of their momenta will be

A

$4:9$

B

$9:4$

C

$3:2$

D

$2:3$

The mass of two substances are $4gm$ and $9gm$ respectively. If their kinetic energies are same, then the ratio of their momenta will be

$P = \sqrt {2mE} $

==> $\frac{{{P_1}}}{{{P_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{4}{9}} = \frac{2}{3}$
