Answer:
Explanation:
Let the mass of ball B is m so that the mass of ball A is 2m.
initial velocity of both the balls = 0
Let both the balls falls from the height h.
Use third equation of motion,
v² = u² + 2gh
so, the velocity with which the balls hit the ground is
So, both the balls hit the ground with the same speed.
momentum, p = mass x velocity
As the velocity is same but the mass of ball A is 2 times the mass of ball B, so the momentum of ball A is twice the momentum of ball A.
