Question

4. Identify the different parts to this word problem. A bowling ball of 35.2kg, generates 218 kg.m/s units of momentum. What is the velocity of the bowling ball? What is the Mass: What is the Velocity: What is the Momentum: Solve it:

Answer 1

Given:

Mass of the ball = 35.2 kg

Momentum =  218 kg m/s

To determine:

The velocity of the ball

Explanation:

Momentum (p) of an object is the product of its mass  (m) and velocity (v)

p = m*v

v = p/m = 218 kg.ms-1/35.2 kg = 6.19 m/s

Ans: The velocity of the ball is 6.19 m/s
