Suppose a 1.0-kg object traveling rightward at 1.0 m/s hits a 3.0 kg object at rest. Afterward, we observe the lighter object to move leftward with a speed of 0.75 m/s. What impulse did the collision interaction give the smaller object at the expense of the larger?

A. None; the larger object was at rest and so had no momentum to give the smaller object.
B. None; the smaller object gave an impulse to larger, not the other way around.
C. 0.75 kg·m/s leftward.
D. 1.0 kg·m/s leftward.
E. 1.75 kg·m/s leftward.


E. 1.75 kg·m/s leftward.
