If two bodies having their kinetic energy in the ratio of 4 : 1 and moving with equal linear momentum, what will be the ratio of their mass?
relation between kinetic energy and momentum is given below kinetic energy = (square of momentum)/ ( 2 x mass) . in this case , momentum of both bodies is same , hence kinetic energy will be inversely proportional to mass . using this logic , ratio of masses will be 1:4 . hope and wish , this sorts out your query . pl. revert , in case of any confusion or some other query . i would be happy to assist you . all the best . ashutosh sharma
