Answer 1

1. Momentum = mass x velocity

2. Based off the answer to the first question, by hitting the ping pong ball, momentum is transferred from the boy to the ball. Causing the ball to have more velocity/speed and gain more momentum.

3. Momentum before = momentum after
Every time the ball hits the table, some momentum transfers from the ball to the table. Every time the player hits the ball, some momentum transfers from the player to the ball. This allows the player to continue playing ping pong as the ball always has momentum.

Answer 2
