Aping-pong ball moving east at a speed of 4 m/s collides with a stationary bowling ball. the ping-pong ball bounces back to the west, and the bowling ball moves very slowly to the east. which object experiences the greater magnitude impulse during the collision?

They experience the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

We have a ping-pong ball colliding with a stationary bowling ball. According to the law of conservation of momentum, we have that the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved:

where

is the initial momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the initial momentum of the bowling ball (which is zero, since the ball is stationary)

is the final momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the final momentum of the bowling ball

We can re-arrange the equation as follows

or

which means

(1)

so the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ping-pong ball is equal to the magnitude of the change in momentum of the bowling ball.

However, we also know that the magnitude of the impulse on an object is equal to the change of momentum of the object:

(2)

Therefore, (1)+(2) tells us that the ping-pong ball and the bowling ball experiences the same magnitude impulse:

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
