Problem

Two identical rubber balls rest on a smooth horizontal surface. Ball P is hit by a constant horizontal force of 5 N5\,\text{N} for 0.40 s0.40\,\text{s}, while ball Q is hit by a constant horizontal force of 10 N10\,\text{N} for 0.20 s0.20\,\text{s}. Which statement correctly compares the magnitudes of their momentum changes? a) Ball Q undergoes the larger change in momentum b) Both balls undergo equal changes in momentum c) Ball P undergoes the larger change in momentum d) The information provided is insufficient to compare the momentum changes
