In a simple force-controlled experiment, two curling stones A and B are made to slide over a sheet of ice. Initially, A and B are at rest on the start line. Then they are acted upon by identical and constant forces , which continually push A and B all the way to the finish line. Let and denote the momentum of A and B at the finish line, respectively, assuming that the forces are the only nonnegligible forces acting in the plane of motion. If mA < mB, which of the following statements is true?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d) There is not enough information given to make a comparison between and
