Odyssey Quiz

Answer 1

Answer:

OD) 3.7 kg-m/s

Explanation:

given:

velocity of baseball, v = 25 m/s

angle below horizontal, Θ = $8^{o}$

mass of baseball, m = 0.15 kg

Generally, momentum (p) is given by equation:

p = mv

Horizontal component is given by

p = mv cosΘ

  = 0.15 kg x 25 m/s x cos $8^{o}$

  = 3.71 kg- m/s

Hence horizontal component of momentum is OD) 3.7 kg-m/s
