Consider two particles with masses m1 and m2 where m1 m2 If

Consider two particles with masses m_1 and m_2 where m_1 > m_2. If the two particles have the same momentum, which particle has a higher kinetic energy? If the two particles have the same kinetic Energies which particle has a higher momentum?

Solution

b- Momentum is directly proportional to mass so m1 has higher momentum

a-m1 has higher kinetic energy because k,e=1/2mv^2 m1 Has higher so its k.e also high
