Two bodies A and B of the same mass are moving with velocities v and 2v respectively. Compare their (i) inertia (ii) momentum.
(i) If ‘m’ is the mass of two bodies A and B,
Comparing inertia of both the bodies;
The inertia of A: Inertia of B :: m:m or 1:1
(ii) To compare the momentum of bodies A and B
Momentum of A = m(v)
Momentum of B = m(2v) =2mv
Comparing the momentum of bodies A and B
The momentum of A: Momentum of B :: mv:2mv or 1:2
