Two bodies $A$ and $B$ having masses in the ratio of $3 : 1$ possess the same kinetic energy. The ratio of their linear momenta is then
$3:1$
$9:1$
$1:1$
$\sqrt 3 :1$
Two bodies $A$ and $B$ having masses in the ratio of $3 : 1$ possess the same kinetic energy. The ratio of their linear momenta is then
$P = \sqrt {2mE} $
$\frac{{{P_1}}}{{{P_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}} $ (if $E =$ constant)
$\frac{{{P_1}}}{{{P_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{3}{1}} $
