Good, thanks all.

You are absolutely right @Johny.

Ke1 = ke2,
m1v1^2 = m2v2^2,
m1v1 * v1 = m2v2 * v2,
Moment1 *v1 = Moment2 *v2,
Moment1/Moment2 = v2/v1.

m1>m2 so for equal KE v2>v1 i.e v2/v1 >1;
Moment1>Moment2.

V1 can't be equal to v2 as if they were equal how come kinetic energy be equal as mass are different? Explain please.

Mechoy said:   5 years ago
Simply.

Momentum is related to mass and velocity.

If mass and velocity increase then momentum will increase.

So finally, m1>m2.

K.E= p^2/2*m.
KE1=KE2.
P1^2/2*m1=P2^/2*m2.
since m1>m2.
So P1>P2.

IF m<M & v,V are their velocity respectively.

1/2(mv^2)=1/2(MV^2).

m.v*v=M.V*V.
if m<M,in order to get same K.E, v>V.

Now,
p.v=P.V (p=m.v & P=M.V).
as v>V, in order to get same K.E,
So, P>p.

Thanks all for explaining.

Simple greater the mass greater the momentum.

We know KE=P^2/2m.

For equal KE(kinetic energies).

The Square of P(momentum) is proportional to the mass.
Hence greater the mass greater is the momentum.
