Identify the different parts of this word problem:

A bowling ball with a mass of 35.2 kg generates 218 kg·m/s units of momentum.

- What is the mass?
- What is the velocity?
- What is the momentum?

Solve it: What is the velocity of the bowling ball?

Answer :

Given:

Mass of the ball = 35.2 kg

Momentum = 218 kg m/s

To determine:

The velocity of the ball

Explanation:

Momentum (p) of an object is the product of its mass (m) and velocity (v)

p = m*v

v = p/m = 218 kg.ms-1/35.2 kg = 6.19 m/s

Ans: The velocity of the ball is 6.19 m/s
