Question -

A light and a heavy body have equal kinetic energy. Which one has a greater momentum ?

Options:

A . The light body

B . The heavy body

C . Both have equal momentum

D . It is not possible to say anything without additional information

Answer: Option B
:
B

$P = \sqrt{2 m E} i f E a r e e q u a l t h e n P \infty \sqrt{m}$

i.e. heavier body will possess greater momentum.
