Heavy object has the larger momentum.
Momentum of a particle (p) depends on the kinetic energy of that particle (Ek) by the relation,
P = √2mEk …… (2)
From equation (2) we observed that, momentum of a particle (p) is directly proportional to the mass of the particle (m).
Since both the light and the heavy object have equal kinetic energy, therefore heavier one has the larger momentum.
