Detailed Solution

[182][183]
The above statement is False.
The wall will receive equal momentum from both balls when hit because both balls have equal mass and velocity. The momentum of a body is described  as the product of its velocity and mass. Therefore, the wall does not receive a greater amount of momentum from a stone ball.
The corrected statement would be that the wall does not receive greater momentum from a stone ball.
