A bowling ball has a mass of 5 kg. What happens to its momentum when its speed increases from 1 m/s to 2 m/s?

AThe initial momentum is 5 kg"m/s, and the final momentum is 10 kg"m/s.

BThe initial momentum is 5 kg"m/s, and the final momentum is 3"kg m/s.

CThe initial momentum is 5 kg"m/s, and the final momentum is 7 kg"m/s.

DThe initial momentum is 5 kg"m/s, and the final momentum is 20 kg"m/s.

(I think this is Physics not sure)

Verified Answer :

The linear momentum is given by \(mv\). Here \(m\) is mass \(v\) is velocity of the body. Given mass and velocities as \(m=5,v_i=1,v_f=2\)

Initial momentum is \(mv_i=5*1=5\) and final momentum is \(mv_f=5*2=10\).

The correct answer is (A)
