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. what is the magnitude of the final momentum of the bowling pin if it has a mass of 1.5 kg? 0 kg • m/s 11 kg • m/s 17 kg • m/s 43 kg • m/s

Magnitude of the final momentum of the bowling pin is 17 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that, Before collision

Initial momentum of bowling ball,

The bowling ball hits a stationary bowling pin. So, its initial momentum is 0.

After the collision,

Final momentum of the bowling ball,

Mass of bowling pin,

According to law of conservation of momentum :

Initial momentum of bowling ball and bowling pin = final momentum of bowling ball and bowling pin

Hence, the correct option is (c) " 17 kg-m/s ".
