Answer:

6m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass = 0.5kg

Momentum = 3 kg.m/s

Velocity =.?

Momentum is simply the product of mass and velocity as shown by the equation below:

Momentum = Mass x Velocity

Velocity = Momentum /mass

Velocity = 3kg.m/s / 0.5kg

Velocity = 6m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ball is 6m/s
