A lead ball with a certain velocity is made to strike a wall, it falls down, but rubber ball of same mass and with same velocity strikes the same wall, it rebounds. Select the correct reason from the following:
both the balls undergo an equal change in momentum
the change in momentum suffered by rubber ball is more than the lead ball
the change in momentum suffered by rubber ball is less than the lead ball
none of the above

Change in momentum is more as direction changes so that change in momentum is the sum of momentum before and momentum after so that rubber has more change in momentum and lead has less.

Change of momentum in horizontal direction is twice in case of rubber ball as compared to lead ball.
