Answer:
Magnitude of the momentum (P) = 5.96 Kg.m /s (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of baseball (m) = 155 gram = 0.155 kg
Velocity (v) = 86 miles/ hour
Find:
Magnitude of the momentum (P)
Computation:
1 mile = 1,609.344 meters
So,
Velocity (v) = 86 × (1,609.344 / 3600)
Velocity (v) = 38.45 m/s
Magnitude of the momentum (P) = mv
Magnitude of the momentum (P) = (0.155)(38.45)
Magnitude of the momentum (P) = 5.96 Kg.m /s (Approx)
