GIven m1v1 = m2 v2 -----------------(1)
Needed m1v12 / m2v22 = v1 / v2
But right from (1) v1 / v2 = m2 / m1
Given m1 = 1 g and m2 = 4 g
So required ratio of KE = 4:1

Why if total momentum is zero but kinetic energy is not equal to zero?
This sounds like a trick question. Momentum has a sign (positive or negative), and if you have two masses that are going in opposite directions their total momentum is zero. But the sum of their kinetic energies is positive.
A collision in which kinetic energy may be transferred between the colliding particles but the total kinetic energy remains the same?
This is called an elastic collision. In this case both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved.
Why is radiant energy kinetic energy?
Light is made up of particles (called photons). They have both kinetic energy and momentum.
What is the difference between thermodynamic and kinetic stability?
Kinetic - how quickly something reacts.Thermodynamic - the energies required.
What terms describes the transfer of energies between objects that have different average thermal kinetic energies?
heat
The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles in a system is called its?
The Hamiltonian.
When the particles in a substance move faster what increases?
Temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of the substance.

What happens to kinetic energy when you decrease the mass?
Kinetic energy = K.E. = 1/2 (m)(v)2. Since mass, m, is part of this equation, we see that two particles of equal velocity but of different masses have different kinetic energies. In the case of equal velocities, the particle with the lesser mass will have the lower kinetic energy. Remember that momentum is the derivative of K.E., and so the momentum of an object is also related to the mass of an object as well.
What is all of the kinetic energy?
Thermal energy is the sum of kinetic energies, while temperature is the average of these kinetic energies.
Mechanical energy is the difference between the kinetic and potential energies of an object?
true
What is the sum of all kinetic energy?
Thermal energy is the sum of kinetic energies, while temperature is the average of these kinetic energies.
Which type of energy refers to the sum of potential and kinetic energies in the particles substance?
Thermal energy A+++
