  1. A particle of mass m1 is moving with a velocity v1 and another particle of mass m2 is moving with a velocity v2. Both  of them have the same momentum but their different kinetic energies are E1 and E2 respectively. If m1 > m2 then
    1. ​E1 = E2
    2. ​E1 < E2
    3. E1
      =
      m1
      E2m2
    4. E1 > E2
Correct Option: B

E =
p2
2m

or , E1 =
p12
, E2 =
p22
2m12m2

or , m1 =
p12
, m2 =
p22
2E12E2

m1 > m2
m1
> 1
m2

p12E2
> 1 ⇒
E2
> 1 [ ∵ p1 = p2 ]
p22E1E1

or , E2 > E1
