Question

What is the momentum of a 0.144kg baseball thrown at a speed of 46m/s? Give your answer in kgm/s.

Answer 1

ANSWER:

6.624 kgm/s

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Mass (m) = 0.144 kg

Speed (v) = 46 m/s

We can calculate momentum using the following formula:

$\begin{gathered} P=m\cdot v \\ \\ \text{ We replacing} \\ \\ P=0.144\cdot46 \\ \\ P=6.624\text{ kgm/s} \end{gathered}$

The momentum is 6.624 kgm/s
