Question

Two particles of different mass start from rest. The same net force acts on both of them as they move over equal distances. Answer parts a and b explaining your choices please. THANKS. (a) How do their final kinetic energies compare? 1) The particle of larger mass has more kinetic energy. 2)The particle of smaller mass has more kinetic energy. 3)The particles have equal kinetic energies. 4)Either particle might have more kinetic energy. (b) How do the magnitudes of their momentum compare? 1) The particle of larger mass has more momentum. 2)The particle of smaller mass has more momentum. 3)The particles have equal momenta. 4)Either particle might have more momentum.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1. Kinetic energy will be same

Ans 2.momentum would also be same
