Answer:
(a) 1 : 2
(b) same
Explanation:
Let the mass of puck A is m and the mass of puck B is 2 m.
initial speed for both the pucks is same as u and the distance is same for both is s.
let the tension is T for same.
The kinetic energy is given by
(a) As the speed is same, so the kinetic energy depends on the mass.
So, kinetic energy of A : Kinetic energy of B = m : 2m = 1 : 2
(b) A the distance s same so the final velocities are also same.
