Yes, the above-given statement is true

<u>Explanation:</u>

The product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the action of a body with a particular mass through space and there is the conservation of momentum.
Momentum is described as the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.
<u>Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)</u>
Therefore for two objects with many masses to have a similar momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving quicker than the heavier object.

Answer:

A) Impulse is the same for both the objects

B) The higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

Explanation:

Part a)

The time of interaction of the two bodies i.e the hanging mass and the stick is same. Thus, force caused by dart on the block = force caused by block on the dart. Hence, impulse is the same for both the objects.

Part B

The energy will be conserved in the entire reaction process

Hence, Kinetic energy = potential energy

0.5Mv^2 = gh(md+mb)

H is directly proportional to the square of speed.

Hence, the higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.
