if a bowling ball has a momentum of 12 kilogram meters per second east. and the velocity of the ball is is 3 meters per second east then what is the mass
To find the mass of the bowling ball, we can rearrange the formula for momentum (p) to solve for mass (m):
p = m * v
Where:
p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
In this case, the momentum (p) is given as 12 kilogram meters per second east, and the velocity (v) is given as 3 meters per second east.
So, let's plug in the values we have:
12 kg⋅m/s = m * 3 m/s
To isolate the mass (m), we divide both sides of the equation by the velocity (3 m/s):
12 kg⋅m/s ÷ 3 m/s = m
4 kg = m
Therefore, the mass of the bowling ball is 4 kilograms.
