Answer:

The bigger ball transfers greater momentum than the smaller.

Explanation:

Momentum is directly proportional to mass and velocity.If you increase either mass or velocity, the momentum of the object increases proportionally. momentum of an object increases when a force is acting upon it, because the force is causing it to accelerate, and to have an increase in velocity also, the bigger ball has greater mass than the smaller ball so the bigger ball breaks the glass.

The correct answer is option a) bigger ball transfers greater momentum than smaller.

  • Momentum means the product of the mass and velocity of an object. The increase in either mass or velocity will lead to an increase in momentum.
  • In the given situation, the bigger ball has greater momentum since it has greater mass.
  • The force of momentum acts on the acceleration of the ball and increases it, because of which the bigger ball can break the glass.
