Q. A smaller and a bigger iron balls are dropped from a small height on a glass pane placed on a table. Only bigger ball breakes the glass pane, because

Laws of Motion

Solution:

Since, momentum is directly proportional to mass of the body. Hence when both iron balls are dropped from same height, then bigger ball gain greater momentum than smaller ball at the time of striking the glass pane. Hence, it can transfer greater momentum to the glass pane and so it breaks.
