A light and a heavy object have the same momentum. Find out the ratio of their kinetic energies. Which one has a larger kinetic energy ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the kinetic energies of a light object and a heavy object that have the same momentum. Let's denote: - \( m_1 \): mass of the light object - \( m_2 \): mass of the heavy object - \( p \): momentum (which is the same for both objects) ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...
