A ball hits a vertical wall horizontally at $10m/s$  bounces back at $10 m/s$ 

  • A

    There is no acceleration because $10\,\frac{m}{s} - \,10\frac{m}{s} = 0$

  • 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
