Question

If 2 objects have the same momentum which statement is true

Answer 1

The correct answer is B

Answer 2

Answer:

correct answer is option B(The product mass X velocity is the same for both)

Explanation:

Momentum:

momentum of a body is defined as the product of mass and velocity with which body is moving.

Momentum of a body of mass m and which is moving with velocity v is given as

$p=m\times v$

if two bodies have same momentum it means the product of mass and velocity is same for both.

If two bodies have dfferent masses and if they are moving with different velocities then also they may have same momentum.

for example,

first body has mass 4kg and it is moving with 10m/s velocity

then its momentum is $p_{1} =4kg\times 10ms^{-1}$

$p_{1} =40kgms^{-1}$

similarly if second body has mass 2kg and if it is moving with 20m/s velocity

then its momentum is $p_{2} =2kg\times 20ms^{-1}$

$p_{2} =40kgms^{-1}$
