Ball X of mass 1.0 kg and ball Y of mass 0.5kg travel toward each other on a horizontal surface. Both balls travel with a constant speed of 5 m/s until they collide. During the collision, ball Y exerts an average force with a magnitude of 40N for 1/6s on ball X . Which of the following best predicts ball momentum after the collision? A. Ball Y will travel at a speed less than 5 m/s in the same direction of travel as before the collision.
B. Ball Y will travel at a speed less than 5 m/s in the opposite direction of travel as before the collision.
C. Ball will travel at a speed greater than 5 m/s in the same direction of travel as before the collision.
D. Ball Y motion cannot be predicted because the impulse on it is not known.
