Rank the magnitude of the change in momentum of a ball from largest to smallest in the following situations:
a) The ball is moving with constant velocity, hits a wall, and stops moving.
b) The ball is moving with constant velocity, hits a wall, and bounces back with its original speed.
c) The ball is moving with constant velocity, misses the wall and continues onward, changing neither speed nor direction.
I thought it was smallest (C) and largest (A)??

smallest is correct
largest is the other one [b)]
... the change in momentum is twice the original momentum
largest is the other one [b)]
... the change in momentum is twice the original momentum
