A bean bag will bounce higher when you drop it onto a soft rubber surface than it will when you drop it onto a hard rubber surface. That's because
A. the soft rubber deforms more as it slows the falling bean bag and it stores more of the collision energy.
B. the bean bag has more momentum when it hits the soft rubber than when it hits the hard rubber.
C. the hard rubber is less dense than the soft rubber and exerts a smaller buoyant force on the bean bag.
D. the hard rubber exerts less torque on the bean bag.
