As part of an experiment on momentum, a billiard ball with a mass of 0.180 kg travels 1.5 m in 0.5 s. What is the momentum of the ball?(1 point)

Question

Responses

0.54 kg⋅m/s
0 point 0 6 kilograms times meters per second

0.81 kg⋅m/s
0 point 81 kilograms times meters per second

0.14 kg⋅m/s
0 point 14 kilograms times meters per second

0.06 kg⋅m/s

Answer 1

To calculate the momentum of the billiard ball, we first need to determine its velocity and then use the formula for momentum.

1. Find the velocity: \[ \text{Velocity} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{1.5 , \text{m}}{0.5 , \text{s}} = 3 , \text{m/s} \]

2. Calculate the momentum: \[ \text{Momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \] \[ \text{Momentum} = 0.180 , \text{kg} \times 3 , \text{m/s} = 0.54 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

Thus, the momentum of the ball is 0.54 kg⋅m/s.
