Question

A bowling ball with a mass of 5kg that is moving with a velocity of 3m/s has a momentum of-

Answer 1

15 kg m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

p=mv

p= momentum

m=mass

v=volume

SO momentum (p)= 5kg (mass) x 3m/s (velocity) = 15 kg m/s

Also careful, because velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both magnitude

AND direction- but we can't include direction because there was none given in the problem.

I hope this helps!
