What will be the ratio of linear momentum, if the masses of two bodies P and Q are in ratio 2 : 3 and their velocities are in ratio 1 : 2 respectively?
Solution,
Given,
masses of two bodies are in the ratio:
Their velocities are in the ratio:
Linear momentum is defined as
Thus,
the ratio of their linear momentum is:
