Question

Two objects A and B of masses 2 kg and 10 kg respectively are moving
with same velocity. The ratio of their momentum will be:
(A) 1:1
(B) 1.5
(C) 5:1
(D) 1:25​

Answer 1

Answer:

1:5

Explanation:

Momentum = mv

Momentum of A = 2v

Momentum of B = 10v

Ratio of Momentum = 2v / 10v

= 2/10 = 1/5

Therefore ratio = 1:5

Answer 2

Answer:

• The ratio of their momentum will be 1 : 5.

Explanation:

Given that:

• Mass of object A = 2 kg
• Mass of object B = 10 kg
• Both the objects are moving with same velocity.

To Find:

• The ratio of their momentum will be?

Formula used:

• Momentum = Mass × Velocity

Let us assume:  

• Both the objects are moving with velocity 'v'.

Finding the ratio of their momentum:

= Momentum of A : Momentum of B

= (2 × v) : (10 × v)

Cancelling v:

= 2 : 10

= (2 × 1) : (2 × 5)

Cancelling 2:

= 1 : 5

∴ The ratio of their momentum = 1 : 5

Answer: The ratio of their momentum is 1 : 5.
