Homework Equations


p=mv[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution


My thoughts-
Answer is C as KE is not conserved since velocity of ball has decreased.
Option A also seems correct.[/B]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What is the momentum transferred to the wall if the momentum of the ball is pB before impact and pA after the impact (in the opposite direction). What is the momentum transferred if pA =pB? Which is greater?
