We know, momentum = mass speed

25kgm/s = 2 kg s

s = 25/2 = 12.5 m/s

The ball's speed is about 13 m/s

\(\texttt{ }\)

Further explanation

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

\(\large {\boxed {F = ma }\)

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

\(\texttt{ }\)

\(\large {\boxed {F = \frac{\Delta p}{t} }\)

F = Force ( Newton )

p = Momentum of Object ( kg m/s )

t = Time Taken ( s )

Let us now tackle the problem !

\(\texttt{ }\)

Given:

mass of ball = m = 2.0 kg

momentum of ball = p = 25 kgm/s

Asked:

speed of the ball = ?

Solution:

We could use formula for momentum to solve this problem:

\(p = m v\)

\(v = p \div m\)

\(v = 25 \div 2.0\)

\(v = 12.5 \texttt{ m/s}\)

\(v \approx 13 \texttt{ m/s}\)

\(\texttt{ }\)

Conclusion :

The ball's speed is about 13 m/s
