Question

 Two objects are at rest on a frictionless surface. Object 1 has a

greater mass than object 2. (i) When a constant force is applied to object 1, it

accelerates through a distance d in a straight line. The force is removed from

object 1 and is applied to object 2. At the moment when object 2 has accelerated

through the same distance d, which statements are true? (a) p1<p2 (b) p1 = p2

(c) p1 > p2 (d) K1 < K2 (e) K1 = K2 (f) K1 > K2 (ii) When a force is applied to

object 1, it accelerates for a time interval del t. The force is removed from object 1

and is applied to object 2. From the same list of choices, which statements are

true after object 2 has accelerated for the same time interval del t?
