Question

A bowling ball has an initial momentum of +30 kg m/s and hits a stationary bowling pin. After the collision, the bowling ball leaves with a momentum of +13 kg • m/s. What is the magnitude of the final momentum of the bowling pin if it has a mass of 1.5 kg? 0 kg • m/s 11 kg • m/s 17 kg • m/s 43 kg • m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

Momentum of the bowling pin is 17kgm/s

Explanation:

P(initial of ball)=+30 kg m/s

P(initial of pin)=0  because its velocity is 0

P initial = P final

30= P(ball) + P(pin)

30=13+P(pin)

P(final of pin)=+13 kg m/s and P(final of ball)= 30-13=17kgm/s
