A light and a heavy body have equal momentum


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 240 People


a light body and a heavy body have same momentum .which one has greater kinetic energy? support your answer with an explanation.

Answered by admin @



Since both have same momentum the lighter one has high velocity according to the equation p=mv,
Therefore lighter body has higher kinetic energy because K=p²/2m
