If a lighter body (mass M 1 and velocity V 1 ) and a heavier body (mass M 2 and velocity V 2 ) have the same kinetic energy, then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
$P = \sqrt{2 m E}.$ If kinetic energy are equal then $P \propto \sqrt{m}$
i.e., heavier body posses large momentum
As $M_1 < M_2$ therefore $M_1 V_1 < M_2 V_2$
