Two masses of 1 kg and 4 kg are moving with equal kinetic energy. The ratio of their linear momentum is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
0.043055556
Option A (0.043055556) is incorrect. The correct ratio of their linear momentum is 0.5, not 0.043055556. The kinetic energy is equal, so 1/2∗m1∗v12=1/2∗m2∗v221/2 * m1 * v1^2 = 1/2 * m2 * v2^2. Therefore, v1/v2=sqrt(m2/m1)=sqrt(4/1)=2v1/v2 = sqrt(m2/m1) = sqrt(4/1) = 2. The ratio of momentum is $m1*v1 / (m2*v2) = 1*v1 / (4*v2) = 1/4 * v1/v2 = 1/4 * 2 = 1/2 = 0.5
