Problem
A cricket ball (mass 160g) and a table-tennis ball (mass 2.7g) each receive the same impulse for the same duration in the forward direction. Which statement describes their changes in velocity?
(a) Both balls experience the same change in velocity.
(b) The table-tennis ball suffers the greater change in velocity.
(c) The result cannot be predicted without knowing their initial velocities.
(d) The cricket ball suffers the greater change in velocity because it is heavier.
