Relation between momentum and kinetic energy
Sometimes it's desirable to express the kinetic energy of a particle in terms of the momentum. That's easy enough. Since and the kinetic energy  so

Note that if a massive particle and a light particle have the same momentum, the light one will have a lot more kinetic energy. If a light particle and a heavy one have the same velocity, the heavy one has more kinetic energy.

p = √2km
p = momentum
k = kinetic energy
m = mass
