Question

1. An 800-gram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. If its momentum is 16 kg•m/sec, how fast is it traveling?

Answer 1

The ball is rolling at a speed of 0.02 meter per second.

Step by step explanation:

We are given that there is a 800 gram bowling ball rolling in a straight line. If its momentum is given to be 16 kg.m/sec, we are to find its velocity.

For this, we will use the formula of momentum.

Momentum = mass × velocity

16 = 800 × velocity

Velocity = 16/800 = 0.02 meter per second
