A bowling ball has a mass of 4.8 kg and is traveling with a velocity of 11 m/s down the lane. How much momentum does it have?
The momentum of an object is given by the formula:
momentum = mass × velocity
In this case, the mass of the bowling ball is 4.8 kg and the velocity is 11 m/s.
Plugging these values into the formula:
momentum = 4.8 kg × 11 m/s
Calculating the product:
momentum = 52.8 kg·m/s
Therefore, the bowling ball has a momentum of 52.8 kg·m/s.
