Two bodies A and B of masses m and M (M m) have same kinetic energy. Which body will have more momentum?
Two bodies A and B of masses m and M (M m) have same kinetic energy. Which body will have more momentum?

Solutions:

Kinetic energy is related to momentum and mass as

p = √2mk

Because both bodies have the same kinetic energy, momentum is proportional to the square root of mass.

Body B has a bigger mass than body A.

As a result, body B has more momentum than body A.
