Aprofessional baseball player can pitch a baseball with a velocity of 44.7m/s towards home plate. if a baseball weighs 1.4 n, how much momentum does it have when it hits the catcher units

p = 6.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of the baseball, v = 44.7 m/s

Weight of the baseball, W = 1.4 N

Firstly we need to find the mass of the baseball. It can be calculated as :

m = 0.14 kg

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and velocity. It is given by :

p = 6.25 kg-m/s

So, the momentum it have when it hits the catcher is 6.25 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
