Question

8. A 12kg bowling ball has a velocity of 8 m/s, and is brought to

a stop gradually over 10s. How much change in momentum
does the bowling ball experience?

Answer 1

The change in momentum experienced by the bowling ball is 96 kgm/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mass of the bowling ball, m = 12 kg

velocity of the bowling ball, v = 8 m/s

time of motion, t = 10 s

The change in momentum experienced by the bowling ball is equal to the impulse experienced by the bowling ball.

ΔP = J = F x t

`J = ft =(mv)/(t) * t = mv\\\\J = 12 * 8\\\\J = 96 \ kg.m/s`

Therefore, the change in momentum experienced by the bowling ball is 96 kgm/s.
