Two bodies are having kinetic energies in the ratio 16 : 9. If they have same linear momentum, the ratio of their masses respectively is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The kinetic energy and the momentum of a moving object are related by
…
Hence, the ratio of the kinetic energies of two objects having masses m and m' can be calculated as follows:
…
Substitute the ratio of the kinetic energies into equation and simplify to obtain the ratio of their masses.
