Answer» Answer: Ratio of the MASS of the BODY = 5 : 1` Ratio of the Kinetic Energy of the body = 125/9 Since, K.E. = 1/2 mv² Therefore, Ratio of K.E.₁ : K.E.₂ = m₁v₁²/m₂v₂² ∴ v₁²/v₂² = K.E.₁/K.E.₂ × m₂/m₁ ∴ v₁²/v₂² = 125/9 × 1/5 ∴ v₁²/v₂² = 25/9 ∴ v₁/v₂ = 5/3 Hence, the ratio of the VELOCITY of the body a to the velocity of the body b is 5 : 3.
