Multiple choice homework A 02 kg baseball is pitched with a velocity of 40 ms and is then batted back off the pitcher with a velocity of 60ms What is the magnit class=

Respuesta :

The formula for calculating momentum is expressed as

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of baseball = 0.2kg

initial velocity of baseball = 40

initial momentum of baseball = 0.2 x 40 = 8 kgm/s

final velocity of baseball = 60 m/s

final momentum of baseball = 0.2 x 60 = 12 kgm/s

Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

Change in momentum = 12 - 8 = 4 kgm/s
