Which would take more force to stop in 10 seconds: an 8.0-kilogram ball rolling in a straight line at a speed of 0.2 m/sec or a 5.0-kilogram ball rolling along the same path at a speed of 1.0 m/sec?​

Answer:

Higher force would be required to stop 5 kg of ball

Explanation:

The force required to stop a moving object depends on its momentum.

The momentum for 8 kg of rolling ball is = 8 kg * 0.2 m/s = 1.6 kgm/s

The momentum for 5 kg of rolling ball is = 8 kg * 1.0 m/s = 5 kgm/s

Hence, momentum of 5 Kg ball is higher than the momentum of 8 Kg of ball

Hence, higher force would be required to stop 5 kg of ball
