Question

What is the momentum of a 3 kg bowling ball moving at 3 m/s?

1 kg • m/s
3 kg • m/s
6 kg • m/s
9 kg • m/s

HELPP!!

Answer 1

Formula for momentum:

`p=mv`

momentum(measured in kg*m/s) = mass(measured in kg) * velocity(measured in m/s)

__________________________________________________________

Given:

`m=3kg`

`v=3m/s`

`p=?`

__________________________________________________________

Finding momentum:

`p=mv`

`p=3*3`

__________________________________________________________

Answer:

`\fbox{p = 9 kg*m/s}`
