    Two bodies of masses 1 kg and 2 kg have equal momentum. Then, the ratio of their kinetic energies is:

    A)  2 : 1

    B)  3 : 1

    C)  1 : 3

    D)  1 : 1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Kinetic energy of a body \[E=\frac{1}{2}m{{\upsilon }^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2m}{{(m\upsilon )}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{2m}\] \[(\because p=m\upsilon )\] or \[E\propto \frac{1}{m}\][ p = constant (given)] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}}\] \[=\frac{2}{1}\]
