Two bodies of masses `m_1` and `m_2` have equal kinetic energies. What is the ratio of their linear momenta?

A

`m_1 : m_2`

B

` m_2 : m_1`

C

`sqrt(m_1) :sqrt(m_2)`

D

`m_1^2 : m_2^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(KE) =P^2/(2m) implies P=sqrt(2m(KE))`
`P prop sqrtm implies P_1/P_2 =sqrt(m_1/m_2)`
