Explanation:
Momentum is measured as the product of mass and velocity.
Mathematically, p = m × v
where, p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
Therefore, calculate the momentum of basket ball as follows.
p = m × v
= 1 kg × 15 m/s
= 15 kg m/s
Hence, when bowling ball have the same momentum, that is, 15 kg m/s then calculate the velocity of bowling ball as follows.
p = m × v
or, v = \(\frac{p}{m}\)
= \(\frac{15 kg m/s}{5 kg}\)
= 3 m/s
Thus, we can conclude that the velocity of bowling ball is 3 m/s.
