Answer:
Momentum = 21.44 N.s
Explanation:
First we need to find the speed of the ball by using following equation. Assuming the speed of ball to be constant:
[tex]s = vt\\\\v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]
where,
v = speed of ball = ?
s = distance covered by ball = 18.3 m
t = time taken = 3.5 s
Therefore,
[tex]v = \frac{18.3\ m}{3.5\ s}\\\\v = 5.23\ m/s[/tex]
Now, the momentum of ball will be:
[tex]Momentum = Mass*Velocity\\Momentum = (4.1\ kg)(5.23\ m/s)\\[/tex]
Momentum = 21.44 N.s
