Question

I throw a baseball with mass 4.9 kg at a velocity of 14.4 m/s (a) What is the magnitude of the momentum, in kilogram meters per second, of the baseball? I am now riding in a convertible, with mass 1000 kg, moving at a speed of 42.2 m/s, and I throw the baseball with the same speed as I did in part (a), in the same direction that the car is moving in. What is the magnitude of the momentum, in kilogram meters per second, of the system consisting of me (I have a mass of 65 kg), the car, and the baseball?

Explanation / Answer

a ) magnitude of momentum P= mass * velocity

P = (4.9kg) * (14.4m/s)

P = 70.56 kg-m/s
