Question

A light body and heavy body have same k.E., which is heaving more momentum and why?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since momentum is the same for the lighter as well as the heavier body then we can say that the lighter body moves with a greater velocity. We know that momentum is the product of velocity and mass of a particle.

Answer 2

Answer:

The heavier body (with more m) will have more momentum.

Explanation:

Which one of the two will have greater momentum ? Since Ek is the same for both the bodies, p∝√m. Thus, the heavier body (with more m) will have more momentum then the ligheter body (with less m), though both have the same kinetic energy.
