ic QUESTION 6 You're playing a game at a county fair in which you have to try to knock down a large wooden bowling pin by throwing a ball at it. You're given the choice between two balls that have equal size and mass: a rubber ball and a ball made of sticky clay. Which ball is more likely to topple the bowling pin? A) The rubber ball B) The ball of clay C) It makes no difference D) More information is needed

Explanation / Answer

as impulse is the rate of change of momentum so if the ball have high chance to bounce back it's change in momentum and thus impulse will be greater and so the bowling pin have high chances of knock down.

The rubber ball have greater tendency to bounce back and thus that ball is more likely to topple the bowling pin.
