Given that, the kinetic energy of the two bodies is equal. That is mass has a direct dependence on linear momentum. Hence, the heavier body will have a greater momentum.

pls mark me as brainliest answer pls...

Answer:

The lighter one has greater kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is related to linear momentum by

KE=momentum squared divided by twice the mass.

KE for a given momentum is inversely proportional to the mass.

So, the lighter mass has greater kinetic energy.

For two bodies having the same kinetic energy, the heavier one has greater momentum.
