Question
Two arrows, each of the same mass, are fired at the same speed toward two targets. One is made from wood and the other is made from steel. The first arrow sticks to the wooden target while the second arrow bounces off the steel target at nearly the same speed.
Assume these collisions take the same amount time.
Which target feels more force? Answer using ideas of force, impulse, and momentum.
