An 8 kilogram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. If its momentum is 16 kg•m/sec, how fast it is traveling.

Expert's answer

By the definition of momentum, we have:

"p=mv,""v=\\dfrac{p}{m}=\\dfrac{16\\ \\dfrac{kgm}{s}}{8\\ kg}=2\\ \\dfrac{m}{s}."

Answer:

"v=2\\ \\dfrac{m}{s}."
