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:
Momentum = Mass * Velocity
218 kg m / s = 35. 2 kg * Velocity divide both sides by 35.2 kg
218 kg m / s
__________ = Velocity ≈ 6.19 m/s
35.2 kg
You could round it to 6.2 m/s if the question asked to round the answer to the nearest tenth (or if that is one of your choices for answer).
