To calculate the momentum of the bowling ball, you can use the formula for momentum, which is:

\[ \text{Momentum} (p) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{velocity} (v) \]

Given:
- Mass \( m = 8 \, \text{kg} \)
- Velocity \( v = 5.65 \, \text{m/s} \)

Now, plug in the values:

\[ p = 8 \, \text{kg} \times 5.65 \, \text{m/s} = 45.2 \, \text{kg m/s} \]

Therefore, the momentum of the bowling ball is **45.2 kg m/s**.
