Chapter 8, Problem 24A

Calculate the momentum of a 10-kg bowling ball rolling at 2 m/s.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Themomentum of a bowling ball of given mass moving with a particular velocity.

Answer to Problem 24A

The momentum of the ball is 20kgm/s

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A bowling ball of mass 10-kg rolling at a speed of 2 m/s.

Formula used:

The momentum of a body represents its inertia while in motion. It can be expressed as the product of mass and velocity of the body ,

  Momentum=mv

Calculation:

Here, speed or velocity of the ball is 2 m/s and its mass is 10-kg. Thus, the momentum is given by,

  Momentum =10×2=20 kg-m/s 

Conclusion :

The momentum of a bowling ball of given mass moving with a particular velocityis 20kgm/s .
