Question

You walk into an alley and on the roof of the buildings on either side is a nemesis. The nemesis on one side is throwing a bowling ball and the nemesis on the other side is throwing a ping pong ball. The balls are thrown with the same momentum. Neglect air resistance and gravitational acceleration and assume a perfectly plastic impact. Which ball do you need to dodge like your life depends on it? A. The ping pong ball. B. The bowling ball. C. It doesn't matter.

Answer 1

answer is " does'nt matter"

because as it is mentioned both the balls have same momentum

the impact or damage caused by any impact is only dependent on the momentum and time of impact

since it is a plastic impact time remains same for both , and they have same momentum , they can mostly apply the same impact , and they cause same damage
