Physics Work, Energy, Power and Collision Kinetic Energy Single Correct MCQ

Published on: September 12, 2026

Two bodies of different masses $n_1$ and $n_2$ have equal momenta. Their kinetic energies $E_1$ and $E_2$ are in the ratio

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

$m_{1} : m_{2}$

$m_{2} : m_{1}$

$m_{1}^{2} \cdot m_{2}^{2}$

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

$\mathrm{E} = \frac{\mathrm{p}^2}{2\mathrm{m}}$ if bodies possess equal linear momenta then $\mathbf{E} \propto \frac{1}{m} \text{ i.e. } \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{m_2}{m_1}$
