Two objects of different masses have momentum of equal, non-zero magnitude. which object has more kinetic energy? two objects of different masses have momentum of equal, non-zero magnitude. which object has more kinetic energy? the lighter object the heavier object they both have the same kinetic energy.

Respuesta :

The heavier object has a higher kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body when in motion. It is given by 1/2 mv², where m is the mass and v is the velocity. At a constant velocity, increase in mass increases the kinetic energy. Therefore an object with heavier mass would have higher kinetic energy compared to the lighter energy.

Answer:

lighter object has more kinetic energy

Explanation:

The relation between momentum and the kinetic energy is given by

K = p^2 / 2 m

where, k be the kinetic energy, p be the momentum and m be the mass.

The two bodies have same momentum, so kinetic energy is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. An object has less mass has more kinetic energy.
