To calculate the momentum of an object, we use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \][/tex]
Here, we are given:
- The mass of the bowling ball is 3 kg.
- The velocity of the bowling ball is 3 m/s.
By plugging these values into the formula, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{momentum} = 3 \, \text{kg} \times 3 \, \text{m/s} = 9 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \][/tex]
Therefore, the momentum of the 3 kg bowling ball moving at 3 m/s is:
[tex]\[ 9 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \][/tex]
So the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 9 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \][/tex]
