Two bodies of masses m_1 and m_2 have equa

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

Two bodies of masses ${m_1}$ and ${m_2}$ have equal kinetic energies. If ${p_1}$ and ${p_2}$ are their respective momentum, then ratio ${p_1}:{p_2}$ is equal to

A

${m_1}:{m_2}$

B

${m_2}:{m_1}$

C

$\sqrt {{m_1}} :\sqrt {{m_2}} $

D

$m_1^2:m_2^2$

Two bodies of masses ${m_1}$ and ${m_2}$ have equal kinetic energies. If ${p_1}$ and ${p_2}$ are their respective momentum, then ratio ${p_1}:{p_2}$ is equal to

$P = \sqrt {2mE} $
$P \propto \sqrt {m} $  $ ({\rm{if }}E = {\rm{const}}{\rm{.)}})$
$\frac{{{P_1}}}{{{P_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}} $
