Is the force exerted by the scale on the superball greater than, less than, or equal to the force exerted by the scale on the clay

A glob of very soft clay is dropped from above onto a digital scale. The clay sticks to the scale on impact. A graph of the clay's velocity vs. time, clay (t), is given, with the upward direction defined as positive.

The experiment is then repeated, but instead of using the clay glob, a superball with identical mass is dropped from the same height onto the scale.

Both the clay and the superball hit the scale 2.9s after they are dropped. Assume that the duration of the collision is the same in both cases and the force exerted by the scale on the clay and the force exerted by the scale on the superball are constant.

Explanation:

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
