How much momentum does a 5 kg bowling ball have when its traveling at a velocity of 8 m/s? Question 6 options: 40 kg*m/s 0.625 kg*m/s 3 kg*m/s 1.6 kg*m/s

The momentum of the bowling ball is 40 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity acting on that object. So it is a measure of the change in the velocity for the given force with the mass of the object.

Momentum = Mass * Velocity.

As the mass of the object is given as 5 kg and the velocity is given as 8 m/s, then the momentum will be

Momentum = 5 kg * 8 m/s = 40 kg m/s.

So, the momentum of the bowling ball is 40 kg m/s.
