Question

A ping pong ball with a mass of 2.20 grams rolls along a frictionless table with a velocity of 0.850 m/s. what is the momentum of the ping pong ball?1.87 g m/s2.59 g m/s1.59 g m/s3.04 g m/s

Answer 1

1.87 should be your answer 

Answer 2

Answer: The momentum of the ball is 1.87 g m/s.

Explanation:

Momentum of an object is defined as the product of mass of the object and the velocity of the object. Mathematically,

$p=mv$

where,

p = momentum of the ball = ? g m/s

m = mass of the ball = 2.20 grams

v = velocity of the ball = 0.850 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$p=2.20g\times 0.850m/s=1.87gm/s$

Hence, the momentum of the ball is 1.87 g m/s.
