Expert Answer
kinetic energy = P2/2m where pe is momentum and m is mass. Let the two masses be M and N where N>M.
kinetic energy(with mass as M) = P2/M
=>P2 = ke*M
kinetic energy ( with mass as N ) = P1 2/N
=> P1 2= ke*N
here, N>M. therefore ke*N >ke*M (kinetic energy is equal). Thus P1 is greater than P [ larger number will have a larger underoot]. Hence more massive object will have more momentum
