Question

a baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg•m/s south and a mass of 0.15 kg. what is the baseball's velocity?

Answer 1

I believe the velocity is 40 m/s

Answer 2

40 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by:

`p=mv`

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this problem, we know:

p = 6.0 kg m/s is the momentum of the baseball

m = 0.15 kg is its mass

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find the baseball's velocity:

`v=(p)/(m)=(6.0 kg m/s)/(0.15 kg)=40 m/s`
