    Programs Should I major in Secondary Education Physics or English?

    Thank you for all the responses! I should've made myself more clear: I can double major in Secondary Education AND English (or Physics). My school even requires I student-teach and I can even do the 5-year program where I get a Masters in Physics or English. Also, thank you for clarifying that...

    Programs Should I major in Secondary Education Physics or English?

    Hello Physics Forums! I realize that only I can answer my own question, but I was wondering if someone could help me answer my own question. First off, I want to major in Education. There is no question about that. However, I am stuck between majoring in Physics and English. I feel like I'm...

    Which ball exerts a larger impulse on the wall?

    I would think that the rubber ball would have a greater change in momentum considering its change in momentum would be zero (since its initial and final velocities are exactly the same) and the change in momentum for the iron ball would be negative (since its final velocity would be negative...

    Which ball exerts a larger impulse on the wall?

    Hi Simon! Thank you for that clarification. If Force is the rate of change of momentum and momentum equals mass times velocity, then would the answer be D, considering the rubber ball bounces back with a higher velocity than the iron ball?

    Which ball exerts a larger impulse on the wall?

    A 10 gram rubber ball and a 10 gram iron ball are thrown at a wall with equal speeds. The rubber ball bounces back at almost the same speed with which it was thrown at the wall, while the iron ball bounces back at half the speed with which it was thrown at the wall. Which ball exerts a larger...
