Final answer:

To find how fast a 0.1 kg baseball must travel to have a specific momentum, a target momentum value is needed to use in the equation momentum = mass x velocity. Without this value, the velocity cannot be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how fast a 0.1 kg baseball would have to travel to have a specific momentum, we need to understand the momentum formula, which is momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v). Unfortunately, the question does not provide the specific momentum that the baseball needs to match. If we were given this momentum value, we would set up an equation p = 0.1 kg × v, where v is the velocity we need to find. Without the target momentum value, we cannot accurately solve for the velocity. A clarification of the target momentum is required to provide a precise answer.
