The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of two objects (Object 1 and Object 2) subjected to the same constant force over the same distance on a frictionless surface. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Masses:** Let the mass of Object 1 be \( m_1 \) and the mass of Object 2 be \( m_2 \). We know that \( m_1 > m_2 \). 2. **Apply Newton's Second Law:** The force \( F \) acting on each object can be expressed using Newton's second law: \[ F = m \cdot a \] For Object 1: \[ F = m_1 \cdot a_1 \implies a_1 = \frac{F}{m_1} \] For Object 2: \[ F = m_2 \cdot a_2 \implies a_2 = \frac{F}{m_2} \] 3. **Calculate Final Velocity After Distance \( d \):** Using the kinematic equation \( V^2 = U^2 + 2aS \) (where \( U \) is the initial velocity, \( a \) is acceleration, and \( S \) is distance): Since both objects start from rest, \( U = 0 \): For Object 1: \[ V_1^2 = 0 + 2a_1d = 2\left(\frac{F}{m_1}\right)d \implies V_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2Fd}{m_1}} \] For Object 2: \[ V_2^2 = 0 + 2a_2d = 2\left(\frac{F}{m_2}\right)d \implies V_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2Fd}{m_2}} \] 4. **Calculate Momentum:** Momentum \( p \) is given by \( p = mv \). For Object 1: \[ p_1 = m_1 V_1 = m_1 \sqrt{\frac{2Fd}{m_1}} = \sqrt{2Fd \cdot m_1} \] For Object 2: \[ p_2 = m_2 V_2 = m_2 \sqrt{\frac{2Fd}{m_2}} = \sqrt{2Fd \cdot m_2} \] 5. **Compare Momentums:** Since \( m_1 > m_2 \): \[ p_1 = \sqrt{2Fd \cdot m_1} > \sqrt{2Fd \cdot m_2} = p_2 \] Thus, \( p_1 > p_2 \). 6. **Calculate Kinetic Energy:** Kinetic energy \( K \) is given by \( K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \). For Object 1: \[ K_1 = \frac{1}{2} m_1 V_1^2 = \frac{1}{2} m_1 \left(\frac{2Fd}{m_1}\right) = Fd \] For Object 2: \[ K_2 = \frac{1}{2} m_2 V_2^2 = \frac{1}{2} m_2 \left(\frac{2Fd}{m_2}\right) = Fd \] 7. **Compare Kinetic Energies:** Since both \( K_1 \) and \( K_2 \) equal \( Fd \): \[ K_1 = K_2 \] ### Conclusion: After the force is removed, we conclude that: - The momentum of Object 1 is greater than the momentum of Object 2 (\( p_1 > p_2 \)). - The kinetic energy of both objects is equal (\( K_1 = K_2 \)). ### Final Statements: - **Correct Statement:** \( p_1 > p_2 \) and \( K_1 = K_2 \).
