A bowling ball of mass 9 kg moves in a straight
line at 3.28 m/s.
How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass
3.638 g move in a straight line so that the two
balls have the same momentum?
Answer in units of m/s.

Respuesta :

The velocity of the ping-pong ball must be 8109 m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by

[tex]p=mv[/tex]

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the bowling ball, we have

m = 9 kg

v = 3.28 m/s

so its momentum is

[tex]p=(9)(3.28)=29.5 kg m/s[/tex]

We want the ping-pong ball to have the same momentum, so:

p' = 29.5 kg m/s

And the mass of the ping-pong ball is

m = 3.638 g = [tex]3.638\cdot 10^{-3} kg[/tex]

Therefore, its velocity must be:

[tex]v=\frac{p}{m}=\frac{29.5}{3.638\cdot 10^{-3}}=8109 m/s[/tex]
