Chapter 9, Problem 33Q
At a carnival game you try to knock over a heavy cylinder by throwing a small ball at it. You have a choice of throwing either a ball that will stick to the cylinder, or a second ball of equal mass and speed that will bounce backward off the cylinder. Which ball is more likely to make the cylinder move?
