Question

two bodies A and B of masses 5kg and 10kg start to move with same speed .find ratio of their momentum.

Answer 1

Answer:

1:2

Explanation:

momentum (P) = mass × velocity

let the speed of both masses be v

P(A) = 5 × v kg-m/s

P(B) = 10× v kg-m/s

so, P(A) /P(B) = (5×v kg-m/s) / (10×v kg-m/s)

= 5v/10v

= 1/2
