Question

A heavy object and a light object have the same momentum. Which object has the greater velocity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since momentum is same so lighter should have more velocity .

$m_{h}v_{h} = m_{l}v_{l} \\ \implies \\ \frac{m_{h}}{m_{l}} = \frac{v_{l}}{v_{h}} \\ \\ but \\ m_{h} > m_{l} \: \: or \: \: \frac{m_{h}}{m_{l}} > 1 \\ \\ so \\ \\ \frac{m_{h}}{m_{l}} = \frac{v_{l}}{v_{h}} > 1 \\ \\ or \\ \\ \orange{ \boxed{\huge{{v_{l}} > {v_{h}} }}}$
