Question

2 objects P and Q of masses 'm' and '4m' move with velocities 'v' and '4v' respectively. Calculate the ratio of their linear momenta

Answer 1

momentum of object p = mv


momentum of object q = 4m4v


16mv



the ratio is 1:16

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

linear momentum of P = mv

linear momentum of Q = (4m)(4v) = 16mv

ratio of momentum = mv/16mv = 1/16

ratio of momentum of P and Q = 1 : 16
