Two balls are thrown with equal horizontal speed against a wall. Both balls have the same mass. The rubber ball bounces back with nearly the same speed with which it hit: The clay ball sticks to the wall. Which one of these objects experiences the greater momentum change? they both experience zero change in momentum they both experience and equal non-zero change in momentum the rubber ball the clay ball
