Re: regarding Conversation of momentum

Both will pierce equally as both has same momenta equal to 200 kg m/s. Force is rate of change of momentum, that is change in momentum/sec. In this case both will apply same force so they will pierce equally. By the way, if you want to answer more questions like this then have a look at IIT-JEE, AIEEE 2011 Engineering Entrance Exams Preparation or consult me at Kajal Sengupta
