Question

5. Two bodies A and B travelling with the same velocity have their momentums in the ratio 4:1.
Which body has a greater inertia?

Answer 1

Answer:

momentum =mass×velocity

$\frac{p1}{p2} = \frac{m1v1}{m2v2}$

$v1 = v2$

$\: \frac{p1}{p2} = \frac{4}{1}$

$so \: \frac{m1}{m2} = \frac{4}{1}$

inertia directly proportional to mass

➡️so A body have the greatest inertia
