Question

An 11-kilogram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. If its momentum is 44 kg x m/sec, how fast is it traveling?

Answer 1

The answer is "0.25 m/s"

Explanation:

Since, we know that momentum of as object is the product of mass and velocity of that object. It is given by

p = m * v

Here, we are given the mass and momentum and asked to find out the rate at which it is travelling which is the velocity of the object

Thus,

v = p/m

v = 11 kg/ 44 kg*m/s

Hence, the velocity comes out to be

v = 0.25 m/s
