Question

A(n) 6.6 kg bowling ball is rolling towards the bowling pins. If its momentum is 15.9 kg*m/s, how fast is it traveling, in m/s?

Answer 1

2.4m/s towards the bowling pins

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball = 6.6kg

Momentum of the ball = 15.9kgm/s

Unknown:

Speed of the ball = ?

Solution:

The momentum is the amount of motion a body posses;

Momentum = mas x velocity

Insert the parameters and solve;

15.9 = 6.6 x velocity

velocity = 2.4m/s towards the bowling pins
