Momentum is calculated using the formula:

\[
\text{Momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity}
\]

In this case, the mass of the bowling ball is 3 kg and its velocity is 3 m/s.

So, the momentum is:

\[
\text{Momentum} = 3 \, \text{kg} \times 3 \, \text{m/s} = 9 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}
\]

Therefore, the momentum of the bowling ball is **9 kg • m/s**.
