    Bowling ball

    Explanation:

    Momentum, p is calculated by multiplying the mass and velocity of an object hence expressed as p=mv where m and v represent mass and velocity respectively.

    Momentum of golf ball

    For the golf ball, the momentum will be given by substituting 0.046 kg for m and 60 m/s for v hence moment is equivalent to 0.046 kg*60 m/s=2.76 kg. m/s

    Momentum for bowling ball

    The momentum of bowling ball is also calculated by substituting the mass as 7kg and velocity as 6 m/s hence p=7*6=42 kg. m/s

    Evidently, 42 is greater than 2.76 hence momentum of bowling ball is the greatest of the two
