Question

What is the momentum of a baseball with a mass of 0.12 kg being thrown

with a velocity of 45 m/s towards the hitter?

Answer 1

5.4kgm/s towards the hitter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 0.12kg

Velocity = 45m/s

Unknown:

Momentum of the baseball = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that the momentum of a body is the quantity of motion it possesses.

Momentum = mass x velocity

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Momentum = 0.12 x 45 = 5.4kgm/s towards the hitter.
