A light body and a heavy body have same linear momentum. Which one has a greater kinetic energy ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The relation betwenn P and kinetic energy is give by ` K = (P^(2))/(2m)`
Since bodies have the same momentum, ` K prop (1)/(m)`
`therefore ` Lighter body has more K. E
