In one experiment, a student rolls a 2 kg ball such that itcollides with a wall with a force of 10,000 N. In a secondexperiment, the student rolls a 5 kg ball such that it collideswith the wall at a force of 5000 N. In both experiments, the ballsbounce back from the wall and eventually come to rest. Which of thefollowing statements is true regarding the force that the wallexerts on each ball?
A- The wall exerts the same force on both balls since they bothbounce back from the same wall in both experiments.
B - The wall exerts a greater force on the 5 kg ball than on the2 kg ball since a greater force is required to cause the heavierball to bounce back from the wall.
C- The wall exerts a greater force on the 2 kg ball than on the5 kg ball since the force from the wall on each ball is equal tothe force that each ball exerts on the wall.
D- The answer cannot be determined without knowing the distanceeach ball rolls before coming to rest.
