    An experiment is performed by dropping two identical steel balls simultaneously from the same height onto different surfaces, as shown below. One bounces off the steel plate; the other remains in contact with the carpet.

    (Image: Table with two balls labeled "Steel Plate" and "Carpet")

    Will the impulse delivered to the steel ball by the steel plate be greater than, less than, or equal to the impulse delivered to the steel ball by the carpet? Explain your answer.

    \[\displaystyle P = I^2 R,\]

    where \(\displaystyle P\) is the power (Watts), \(\displaystyle I\) is the current (Amps) and \(\displaystyle R\) is the resistance (Ohms) in the circuit. The circuit will be designed to have a constant resistance of \(\displaystyle R = 5,000\) Ohms.
