A snooker ball of mass 0.20 kg has a collision so that its direction of movement changes by an angle of 90°, as shown. The ball has a speed of 0.40 m s⁻¹ before the collision and a speed of 0.30 m s⁻¹ after the collision. What is the magnitude of the change in momentum of the snooker ball?

1. A0.020 kg m s⁻¹
2. B0.10 kg m s⁻¹
3. C0.14 kg m s⁻¹
4. D0.50 kg m s⁻¹
