Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): When a ball strikes a wall and bounces back, the impulse imparted to the ball is equal to the change in its momentum. | Reason (R): Impulsive forces act over a short duration but cause a significant change in momentum.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
