    Two bodies of unequal masses possess the same momentum. Which of the following can be concluded?

    A)  Heavier mass possesses lesser\[K.E.\]  

    B)  The masses of the two bodies are in the direct ratio of their velocities.

    C)  Lighter mass possesses less\[K.E.\]

    D)  Both [a] and [b]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Momentum of the heavy body\[=MV\] Momentum of the light body\[=mv\] The momenta are equal\[MV=mv\], \[\therefore \]\[\frac{M}{m}=\frac{v}{V}\] Masses are in the inverse ratio of velocities. So, heavier mass will possess less K.E.
