Question

a bowling ball has a mass of 5kg. what happens to tis momentum when its speed increases from 1 m/s to 2 m/s

Answer 1

To find the momentum of an object, you use the equation P=M*V.(p=momentum, m=mass, v=velocity/speed/acceleration.) So, the equation here is P=5kg*2m/s or p=5*2.                                                                                            5*2=10                                                                                                                  P=10: So the momentum of the bowling ball is 10p.
