If a 0.155 kg baseball has a momentum of p = 4.96 kg·m/s as it is thrown from home to second base, what is its velocity?

Answer 1

The formula for momentum is as follows: p=mv. The variable p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity. Plugging in the variables in the question that gives you (4.96)=(.155)v. Solving for v the equation becomes v=(4.96)/(.155). Then plugging that into your calculator you'll get 32 m/s should be the velocity of that ball
