Momentum

Classical Mechanics Level 1

A ball $B_1$ of mass $'2 M'$ moving along $x$ -axis with uniform velocity $'2 V'$ .Another ball $B_2$ of mass $'M'$ with velocity $'3 V'$ moving in same direction .Let $p_1$ and $p_2$ be the momentum of ball $B_1$ and $B_2$ respectively.Then the value of $\frac{p_1}{p_2}$ is:

We know that $p=m v$ .For $B_1$ , momentum $p_1$ is $p_1 =(2 M) (2 V)$ $=>$ $p_1=4 M V$ .For $B_2$ , momentum $p_2=3 M V$ .Hence $\frac{p_1}{p_2} =\frac{4}{3}$ .
