A light and a heavy body have equal momentum. Which one has greater K.E.?
The lighter body
The heavier body
Both have equal K.E.
Data given is incomplete
Get Answer
Since momentum of both bodies are equal
So let
so
It means that light body has greater kinetic energy, if they. have equal momentum.
A particle of mass has momentum . Its kinetic energy will
Let the velocity of the particle be .
Momentum of the particle
Kinetic energy of the particle
Kinetic energy, with any reference, must be
zero
positive
negative
both (b) and (c)
K. It is always positive
If the momentum of a body is increased by , then the percentage increase in its kinetic energy is
Initial momentum ; Final momentum and initial kinetic energy .
Kinetic energy
or, or, .
Therefore, increase in kinetic energy is or .
Four particles given, have same momentum. Which has maximum kinetic energy
Proton
Electron (c)
Deutron
-particles
[If constant] i.e., the lightest particle will possess maximum kinetic energy and in the given option mass of electron is minimum.
The K.E. acquired by a mass in travelling a certain distance , starting form rest, under the action of a constant force is directly proportional to
independent of
K.E.
Further,
Hence, K.E.
or, K.E. acquired Work done constant.
i.e., it is independent of mass .
A running man has half the kinetic energy of that of a boy of half of his mass. The man speeds up by so as to have same K.E. as that of the boy. The original speed of the man will be
Let mass of boy, mass of man
velocity of boy, velocity of man
Putting and solving
In the given figure, the block of mass is dropped from the point ' '. The expression for kinetic energy of block when it reaches point ' ' is :
By law of conservation of mechanical energy
and
Two bodies and having masses in the ratio of possess the same kinetic energy. The ratio of linear momentum of to is
As
;
A small body is projected in a direction inclined at to the horizontal with kinetic energy . At the top of its flight, its kinetic energy will beA small body is projected in a direction inclined at to the horizontal with kinetic energy . At the top of its flight, its kinetic energy will be
Zero
At the top of flight, horizontal component of velocity
K.E. .
