Question

Assertion: A cricket ball having same velocity as that of ping-pong ball hurts less.
Reason: Momentum is equal to product of mass and velocity.​

Answer 1

both assertion and reason are correct..

Answer 2

Assertion is false and reason is true.

Explanation:

• Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion.

• The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving.

• So, momentum depends on the mas and velocity of the object.

• Momentum defines the strength of any force. More the momentum. more is the impact of force.

• A cricket ball has more mass than a ping-pong ball, so if both has same velocity, the mass of cricket ball will cause it to have more momentum than ping pong ball.

• Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the object.
• So, cricket ball will hurt more.
