Two objects are at rest on a frictionless surface. Object 1 has a mass that is twice that of Object 2. When a constant force is applied to Object 1, it accelerates through a distance d. The force is removed from Object 1 and is then applied to Object 2. At the moment when Object 2 has accelerated through the same distance d, which statements are true?

(i) p2 = 2p1 (ii) p2 = p1 (iii) p2 = ½ p1 (iv) KE2 = 2KE1 (v) KE2 = KE1 (vi) KE2 = ½ KE1
