Answer:

The velocity of the bowling should be 2 m/s in order to an have same momentum as that of basket ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is defined as motion possessed by the moving object.it is calculated by multiplying mass of the object with its velocity.


Momentum(P)=mass(m)* Velocity(v)

Mass of basket ball = m = 1 kg

Velocity of the basket ball,v = 12 m/s

Momentum of the basket ball = p

p = 1 kg × 12 m/s = 12 kg m/s

Mass of bowling ball = m' = 6 kg

Velocity of the bowling ball = v'

Momentum of the bowling ball = Momentum of the basket ball = p

p = m' × v'

12 kg m/s = 6 kg × v'

v ' =
(12kg m/s)/(6 kg)= 2 m/s

The velocity of the bowling should be 2 m/s in order to an have same momentum as that of basket ball.
