8. A 12kg bowling ball has a velocity of 8 m/s, and is brought to
a stop gradually over 10s. How much change in momentum
does the bowling ball experience?


Sagot :

Answer:

The change in momentum experienced by the bowling ball is 96 kgm/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bowling ball, m = 12 kg

velocity of the bowling ball, v = 8 m/s

time  of motion, t = 10 s

The change in momentum experienced by the bowling ball is equal to the impulse experienced by the bowling ball.

ΔP = J = F x t

[tex]J = ft =\frac{mv}{t} \times t = mv\\\\J = 12 \times 8\\\\J = 96 \ kg.m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the change in momentum experienced by the bowling ball is 96 kgm/s.
