M = mass of the bowling ball = 88.8 kg
V = speed of bowling ball = 1.45 m/s
P = magnitude of momentum of bowling ball = ?
magnitude of momentum of bowling ball is given as
P = MV
inserting the values
P = 88.8 x 1.45
P = 128.8 J
m = mass of ping-pong ball = 2.537 g = 2.537 x 10⁻³ kg
v = speed of the ping-pong ball = ?
p = magnitude of momentum of ping-pong ball
Given that :
magnitude of momentum of ping-pong ball = magnitude of momentum of bowling ball
p = P
m v = 128.8
(2.537 x 10⁻³) v = 128.8
v = 5.1 x 10⁴ m/s
