    The football is 100 m/s fast

    Explanation:

    Momentum is the product of the mass of a body and it velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity. Meaning it has both Magnitude and direction. Momentum is the mass of a body in motion. Mathematically,

    Momentum = mass * velocity

    p = m * v

    To calculate how fast the football traveled one needs to calculate for the momentum of the bullet.

    Momentum of the bullet = mass * velocity

    Momentum of the bullet = 0.05 * 500

    Momentum of the bullet = 25 kg m/s

    Since the momentum of the bullet is equal to the momentum of the football

    Momentum of the football = mass * velocity

    How fast means calculate the speed which is the velocity

    Velocity = Momentum of the bullet/mass

    Velocity = 25/0.25

    Velocity = 100 m/s

    Momentum = mass (kg) * velocity (m/s)

    The bullets momentum is 0.05 * 500 = 25

    25/0.25 = 100

    The ball would travel at 100 m/s.
