Abowling ball has an initial momentum of +30 kg m/s and hits a stationary bowling pin. after the collision, the bowling ball leaves with a momentum of +13 kg • m/s

+17 kg m/s

Explanation:

Question is missing. Found it on google:

"What is the magnitude of the final momentum of the bowling pin if it has a mass of 1.5 kg?"

Solution:

we can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system must be conserved, so we can write:

where

is the momentum of the ball before the collision

is the momentum of the pin before the collision (zero because the pin is stationary)

is the momentum of the ball after the collision

is the momentum of the pin after the collision

Solving the equation for , we find:
