Question

A heavy and a light object have same momentum.
Which of these is travelling fasten? Explain why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

light object

Explanation:

momentum= mass × velocity

momentum of heavy object =momentum of light object

mass of heavy object is more than mass of light object

therefore, velocity of light object is more than that of heavy object

Answer 2

Answer:

The lighter object will be faster

Explanation:

We know that,

momentum=mass * velocity^2

Since there momentum is same thus if the object with a greater mass will have lesser velocity by the relation stated above and the object with a lighter mass will have greater velocity.

Hence, the lighter body is faster.
