In a collision between two objects having unequal masses, how does magnitude of the impulse imparted to the lighter object by the heavier one compare with the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the heavier object by the lighter one?
 
  A) The lighter object receives a larger impulse.
  B) The heavier object receives a larger impulse.
  C) Both objects receive the same impulse.
  D) The answer depends on the ratio of the masses.
  E) The answer depends on the ratio of the speeds.
