A ball of mass m collides horizontally with a stationary wedge on a rough horizontal surface, in the two orientations as shown. Neglect friction between ball and wedge. Two student comment on system of ball and wedge in thses situations

Saurav : Momentum of system in `x-`direction will change by significant amout in both cases. Rahul : There are no impulsive external forces ijn `y-`directions in both cases hence the total momentum of system in y-directions can be treated as conserved in both cases .
