  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{15}{2}} \ km/s$
  • B
    $\sqrt{15} \ km/s$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{15}{4}} \ km/s$

Two containers $A$ and $B$ contain an ideal gas at the same temperature. If the masses of the molecules are $m_A$ and $m_B$ respectively,what is the relationship between their momenta $p_A$ and $p_B$?

$N$ molecules each of mass $m$ of gas $A$ and $2N$ molecules each of mass $2m$ of gas $B$ are contained in a vessel which is maintained at temperature $T$. The mean square velocity of the molecules of gas $B$ is denoted by $V_2^2$ and the mean square of the $X$-component velocity of the molecules of gas $A$ is denoted by $V_1^2$, then $\frac{V_1}{V_2}$ is
