Here, pi = pz , m1v1 = m2v2
∴ \(\frac{v_2}{v_1}=\frac{m_1}{m_2}..........(i)\)
As \(E_2=\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2\)
and \(E_1=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_1\)
∴ \(\frac{E_2}{E_1}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2}{\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_1}\)
\(=\frac{m_2}{m_1}(\frac{v_2}{v_1})^2\)
using (i) \(\frac{E_2}{E_1}=\frac{m_2}{m_1}\times(\frac{m_1}{m_2})^2\)
If m1 < m2, E2 < E1
or E1 > E2
i. e., lighter body has more K.E.
