How does applying a larger force over a shorter time period affect the impulse delivered to an object?

• It decreases the impulse.

• It increases the impulse.

While playing pool, the white cue ball strikes the 8 ball. Before the collision, the cue ball's velocity was 10 m/s and the 8 ball was at rest. If both ball's have a mass of 0.15 kg and the cue ball's velocity after the collision is 2 m/s, what is the 8 ball's velocity?

• 2 m/s

• 8 m/s

• -2 m/s

• 1.5 m/s
