Answer»

Given :

• Two BODIES 'A' and 'B' have velocities in the

ratio of 2 : 1.

• Mass of body A is half of the mass of body 'B'.

To calculate :

• The ratio of kinetic energies of A and B.

Calculation :

As velocities of 'A' and 'B' are in the ratio of 2 : 1. So,

Let ,

• Velocity of body A = 2v

• Velocity of body B = 1v or v

Also, let us ASSUME ,

• Mass of body B = m

So, as per the given question mass of body A is half of the mass of body 'B'.

\longrightarrow Mass of Body A = \sf { \dfrac{1}{2} m }

Now, let's calculate the ratio of the kinetic energies of 'A' and 'B' .

\longrightarrow \sf { Ratio = \dfrac{Kinetic \: Energy_{(Body \: A)} }{Kinetic \: Energy_{(Body \: B)}} }

Kinetic Energy of Body A :

We KNOW that,

\bigstar \: \boxed{\sf {K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}}} \\

• K.E = Kinetic Energy

• m = mass

• v = velocity

Here,

✰ Mass of A = \sf { \dfrac{1}{2}m}

✰ Velocity of A = 2v

Substituting VALUES,

\longrightarrow \sf {K.E_{(Body \: A)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2}m \times {(2v)}^{2} }

\longrightarrow \sf {K.E_{(Body \: A)} = \dfrac{1}{\cancel{4}}m \times {\cancel{4}v}^{2} }

\longrightarrow \sf {K.E_{(Body \: A)} = 1m \times {v}^{2} }

\longrightarrow \boxed{\sf {K.E_{(Body \: A)} = m{v}^{2}} }

Kinetic Energy of Body B :

We know that,

\bigstar \: \boxed{\sf {K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}}} \\

• K.E = Kinetic Energy

• m = mass

• v = velocity

Here,

✰ Mass of B = m

✰ Velocity of B = v

Substituting values,

\longrightarrow \sf {K.E_{(Body \: B)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times m \times {(v)}^{2} }

\longrightarrow \sf {K.E_{(Body \: B)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times m \times {v}^{2} }

\longrightarrow \boxed{ \sf {K.E_{(Body \: B)} = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}} }

Calculating Ratio :

\longrightarrow \sf { Ratio = \dfrac{Kinetic \: Energy_{(Body \: A)} }{Kinetic \: Energy_{(Body \: B)}} }

\longrightarrow \sf { Ratio = \dfrac{ \cancel{m{v}^{2}} }{ \cfrac{1}{2} \cancel{m {v}^{2}}} }

\longrightarrow \sf { Ratio = \dfrac{1 }{ \cfrac{1}{2}} }

\longrightarrow \sf { Ratio = 1 \times \dfrac{2}{1}}

\longrightarrow \sf { Ratio = \dfrac{2}{1}}

\longrightarrow \boxed {\pmb{ \rm \red { Ratio = 2:1}}}

Therefore, the kinetic energies of 'A' and 'B' are in

the ratio of 2 : 1.
