Question

the momentum of an object describes how much of an impact it will have on something it hits. an objects momentum is mv, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity. a baseball with a mass of 0.15 kilograms is thrown with a velocity of 25 meters per second. what is the momentum of the baseball? write your answer as a whole number or decimal. kilogram meters per second

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values into the formula

Given \(m = 0.15\) kg and \(v=25\) m/s, and the formula for momentum \(p = mv\).
So \(p=0.15\times25\).

Step2: Calculate the product

\(0.15\times25=\frac{15}{100}\times25=\frac{15\times25}{100}=\frac{375}{100} = 3.75\).

Answer:

\(3.75\)
