Answer :
If two bodies of different masses, initially at rest, are acted upon by the same force for the same time, then the both bodies acquire the same momentum
u1 = 0 u2 = 0 initial speeds
let m1 >= m2
F = m1 a1 = m2 a2
The force acts on the two bodies for the same time duration Δt
Hence, F * Δt = change in momentum
= final momentum, as initial momentum = 0.
So the final momentum is same for both. The body with higher mass will have less speed.
