Two masses of 1g and 4g are moving with equal kinetic energies. The ratio of the magnitudes of their momenta is –

A

4 : 1

B

2\sqrt { 2 } : 1

C

1 : 2

D

1 : 16

Answer

1 : 2

Explanation

Solution

P =2Km\sqrt { 2 \mathrm { Km } }

or P µ

= 14\frac { 1 } { 4 }

\ P1P2\frac { \mathrm { P } _ { 1 } } { \mathrm { P } _ { 2 } } =12\frac { 1 } { 2 }
