Solution
The correct option is B1:1 and 1:2 The inertia of a body depends on its mass.
As the balls have equal mass, the ball b1 and b2 have same inertia.
Let the mass of the balls be M. I1 and I2 are the inertia of ball b1 and b2 respectively I1 = K×M I2 = K×M
where , K is constant and M is the mass of the ball.
Case 1: Ratio of inertia
I112=K×MK×M ⇒I112=11
Case 2: Ratio of momentum
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so the ball with greater velocity has greater momentum.
Let P1 and P2 be the momentum of b1 and b2 respectively.
Let V1 and V2 be the velocities of b1 and b2.
Given V1 = V and V2 = 2V P1P2=M×VM×2V ⇒P1P2=12.
