Two bodies of masses m and 4m are moving with equal kinetic

Home » Mechanics » Work, Energy and Power » Question

Two bodies of masses m and 4m are moving with equal kinetic energies. The ratio of their linear momenta will be

1. 1 : 4
2. 4 : 1
3. 1 : 2
4. 2 : 1

Correct Option: C

	K₁	=	p₁²	×	m₂
	K₂		m₁		p₂²

[ ∵ p = mv ⇒ K =	p²	]
	2m
