Two bodies with kinetic energies in the ratio 4 : 1 are

Two bodies with kinetic energies in the ratio 4 : 1 are moving with equal linear momentum. The ratio of their masses is

⇒	(m₁v₁²)m₂	=	4	⇒	p₁²	×	m₂	=	4
	(m₂v₂²)m₁		1		p₂²		m₁		1

	m₂	=	4 × p₂²	=	4	× 1 ⇒	m₁	=	1
	m₁		1 × p₁²		1		m₂		4

[Given : p₁ = p₂]
