• A)for B to have the greatest recoil speed, choose m_B = m_A
• B)for B to have the greatest recoil momentum, choose m_B << m_A
• C)for B to have the greatest recoil kinetic energy, choose m_B >> m_A
• D)for B to have the least recoil speed, choose m_B = m_A
• E)for B to have the greatest recoil kinetic energy, choose m_B = m_A
