A constant horizontal force of

10\,\text{N}

acts separately on two bodies

A

and

B

lying on a smooth horizontal table. The masses of the bodies are

2\,\text{kg}

and

5\,\text{kg}

respectively. Both bodies start from rest. (i) Calculate the acceleration produced in each body. (ii) Determine the speed acquired by each body after

4\,\text{s}

. (iii) Find the change in momentum of each body in the same time interval and state which body experiences the greater change.
