Two 020-Kg Balls, Moving at 4 M/s East, Strike a Wall

Question 20

Multiple Choice

Two 0.20-kg balls, moving at 4 m/s east, strike a wall. Ball A bounces backwards at the same speed. Ball B stops. Which statement correctly describes the change in momentum of the two balls?


A) ΔpB<ΔpA\left|\Delta \overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}}_{\mathrm{B}}\right|<\left|\Delta \overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}}_{\mathrm{A}}\right| .
B) ΔpB=ΔpA\left|\Delta \overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}}_{B}\right|=\left|\Delta \overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}}_{\mathrm{A}}\right| .
C) ΔpB>ΔpA\left|\Delta \overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}}_{\mathrm{B}}\right|>\left|\Delta \overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}}_{\mathrm{A}}\right| .
D) p\overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}} B = Δ\Deltap\overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}} A.
E) p\overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}} B > Δ\Deltap\overrightarrow{\mathbf{p}} A.
