1. The clay ball exerts a larger impulse because it sticks.

2. The rubber ball exerts a larger impulse because it bounces.

3. They exert equal impulses because they have equal momenta.

4. Neither exerts an impulse on the wall because the wall doesn’t move.

Objects A and C are made of different materials, with different “springiness,” but they have the same mass and are initially at rest. When ball B collides with object A, the ball ends up at rest. When ball B is thrown with the same speed and collides with object C, the ball rebounds to the left. Compare the velocities of A and C after the collisions. Is vA greater than, equal to, or less than vC?

1. vA > vC

2. vA = vC

3. vA < vC

A dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) puck revolves in a circle on the end of a lightweight rigid rod that turns on frictionless bearings. A cushion of CO2 gas allows the puck to glide across the surface without friction. As the puck sublimates (changes from a solid to a gas), its speed
