You have to balls heading towards you. One of them is football (lighter with higher velocity) and the other one is a bowling ball (heavier with lower velocity). They have the same momentum. There are no other variables included. Which one would be easier to catch. Explain why.

Answer:

The Football

Step-by-step explanation:

They have the same velocity, but different shapes and weight. Although the balling ball would be easier to stop (due to slow velocity), but if you see a bowling coming your way in the air, GET OUT OF THE WAY!
