Question

A ball of mass 1 kg and a car of mass 1000 kg have same kinetic energy then which of the following statement is correct
1. Car has more linear momentum as compared to ball

2. Ball has more linear momentum as compared to car

3. Ball and car both have same linear momentum because their kinetic

energy is same

4. None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement 1 is correct.

Explanation:

$k.e. = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}$

$p = mv = \sqrt{2mk.e.}$

Here we can conclude that if kinetic energy is same then linear momentum is directly proportional to the square root of the mass of the object.

so more the mass more would be the linear momentum in this case.
