Assertion: A light body and a heavy body...

Assertion: A light body and a heavy body have same momentum. Then they also have same kinetic energy.
Reason: Kinetic energy does not depand on mass of the body.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When two bodies have same momentum then lighter body possess more kinetic energy because `E=P^2/(2m)`
`:. E prop 1/m,` when P = constant
