impulse is force times time
if the force is the same, a longer time is greater impulse (change in momentum), B
A student is experimenting with two sets of balls colliding in a closed system.
In the first trial, two hard balls collide for 0.01 seconds.
In the second trial, two softer balls collide for 0.02 seconds.
The amount of force applied to each set of balls is equal.
Which statement is correct about these trials?
(1 point)
The momentum in the first trial is twice the impulse in the second trial.
The impulse in the first trial is half the impulse in the second trial.
The impulse in the first trial is twice the impulse in the second trial.
The momentum in the first trial is half the impulse in the second trial.
