i need an answer for each part please

8, A carnival game requires you to knock over a wood post by throwing a ball at it. You're offered a very bouncy rubber ball and a very sticky clay ball of equal mass. Assume that you can throw them with equal speed and equal accuracy. You only get one throw. a. Which ball will you choose? Why? b. Let's think about the situation more carefully. Both balls have the same initial momentum Pu just before hitting the post. The clay ball sticks, the rubber ball bounces off with essentially no loss of speed. What is the final momentum of each ball? Clay ball: Pt. Hint: Momentum has a sign. Did you take the sign into account? Rubber ball ptx

Explanation / Answer

a.

Choose the bouncy rubber ball.

The rubber ball bounces back, so it experiences a greater change in momentum than the clay ball at the same initial speed. Therefore it imparts a greater impulse on the post and is more likely to knock it over.

b)

Clay ball=0

Rubber ball=-p x

C)

Clay ball= -p fx

rubber ball= -2p fx

D)

The bouncy rubber ball experience a greater impulse as it can be seen from its greater change in momentum.

E)

The rubber ball exerts a larger impulse because of the greater impulse on it.

F)

Still happy.
