Question

Would it hurt more to get hit by a 0.058 kg tennis ball traveling 20m/s or a 0.145 kg baseball traveling at 5 M/S? Calculate the moment of each object and explain your answer using those values.

Answer 1

It would hurt more to get hit by a tennis ball traveling at 20m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tennis ball calculations:

M = 0.058 kg × 20 m/s = 1.16 kg·m/s

Baseball calculations:

M = 0.145 kg × 5 m/s = 0.725 kg·m/s

Comparing the moments of the two objects, the tennis ball has a higher moment (1.16 kg·m/s) compared to the baseball (0.725 kg·m/s). This means the tennis ball would hurt more.

I believe this is correct, sorry if it's wrong.
