A) 22.4 m B) 0.61 m C) 6.54 m D) 3.66 m E) 2.45 m

Question 2

A) The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5 kg ball experiences is greater than that of the 10 kg ball.
B) The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5 kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10 kg ball.
C) The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5 kg ball experiences is equal to that of the 10 kg ball.
D) The magnitude of the change of the momentum of the 5 kg ball is equal to the magnitude of the change of momentum of the 10 kg ball.
E) Two of the above statements are true.
