$A$ ball hits a vertical wall horizontally at $10 \ m/s$ and bounces back at $10 \ m/s$. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    There is no acceleration because $10 \ m/s - 10 \ m/s = 0$.
  • B
    There may be an acceleration because its initial direction is horizontal.
  • C
    There is an acceleration because there is a momentum change.
  • D
    Even though there is no change in momentum,there is a change in direction. Hence it has an acceleration.
