Question

A ball has 2 kg* m/s of momentum when thrown with a velocity of 8 m/s outwards. Find the mass of the ball.

Answer 1

0.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25kg

P=Mv

2=mx8

M=2/8

=0.25kg

Answer 2

`\large \boxed{\text{0.25 kg}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula for momentum to calculate the mass.

`\begin{array}{rcl}p & = & mv\\2 & = & m * 8\\m & = & (2)/(8)\\\\& = & \textbf{0.25 kg}\\\end{array}\\\text{The mass of the ball is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.25 kg}}$}`
