Answer:
Momentum, p = 34.937 kg-m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Force acting on the bowling ball, F = 48.2 N
Velocity of bowling ball, v = 7.13 m/s
We have to find the momentum of the ball. Momentum is given by :
p = mv........(1)
Firstly, calculating the mass of bowling ball using second law of motion. The force acting on the ball is gravitational force and it is given by :
F = m g (a = g)
[tex]m=\dfrac{F}{g}[/tex]
[tex]m=\dfrac{48.2\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}[/tex]
m = 4.9 kg
Now putting the value of m in equation (1) as :
[tex]p=4.9\ kg\times 7.13\ m/s[/tex]
p = 34.937 kg-m/s
Hence, this is the required solution.
