Two bod'ies A and B are moving with equal velocities. The mass of B is double that of A. In this context, which one of the following statements is correct?

Options

A. Momentum of B will be double that of A.
B. Momentum of A will be double that of B
C. Momentum of B will be four times that of A.
D. Momenta of both A and B will be equal.

Answer

A

Explanation

As we know
Momentum P= mv
Since, `V_(A)=V_(B)=V, and m_(0)=2m_(A)`
for `A, P_(A)-m_(A)V_(A)`
for `B P_(B)=(2m_(A))v_(A)`
`P_(B)=2P_(A)`
