Problem

Two identical balls P and Q each of mass mm move along the same straight line. • Ball P slows down from 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} to 6 m/s6\,\text{m/s}. • Ball Q is initially at rest and then speeds up to 4 m/s4\,\text{m/s}. Ignoring all external influences, which statement is correct about the magnitudes of impulse imparted to the two balls? a) Impulse on P is greater than on Q b) Both balls receive equal impulse c) Impulse on Q is greater than on P d) Comparison cannot be made without knowing mm
