Answer:
The initial momentum of the ball is 8 kg-m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the ball is 4 kg
Initial speed of the ball is 2 m/s
Force applied to the ball is 5 N for 3 seconds
It is required to find the initial momentum of the ball. Initial momentum means that the product of mass and initial velocity of the ball. It is given as :
[tex]p_i=mu\\\\p_i=4\ kg\times 2\ m/s\\\\p_i=8\ kg-m/s[/tex]
So, the initial momentum of the ball is 8 kg-m/s.
