Question #1 Report Error
Two objects of masses 1 kg and 4 kg have equal momentum. What is the ratio of their kinetic energies?
A. 4:1
B. 1:4
C. 1:2
D. 2:1

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Kinetic Energy (K) is related to momentum (p) by the formula K = p² / 2m. Since they have equal momentum, p is constant. Therefore, K is inversely proportional to mass (K ∝ 1/m). Ratio of kinetic energies K1/K2 = m2/m1 = 4/1 = 4:1. The lighter object has more kinetic energy.
