Answer :
Option d is the right choice.
d. 2 m/s.
The momentum p of an object with mass m and velocity v is given by the formula:
[tex]\[ p = m \cdot v \][/tex]
Here, we're given that the bowling ball has a mass m = 8 kg and a momentum p = 16 kg·m/s.
We want to find the velocity v of the bowling ball. We can rearrange the formula for momentum to solve for velocity:
[tex]\[ v = \frac{p}{m} \][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[ v = \frac{16 \, \text{kg·m/s}}{8 \, \text{kg}} \][/tex]
v = 2 m/s.
So, the velocity of the bowling ball is 2 m/s.
The answer is 2 m/s.
Option d is the right choice.
