Question

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

Answer 1

The linear momentum is given by $mv$. Here $m$ is mass $v$ is velocity of the body. Given mass and velocities as $m=5,v_i=1,v_f=2$

Initial momentum is $mv_i=5*1=5$ and final momentum is $mv_f=5*2=10$.

The correct answer is (A)
