Speed is scalar, meaning it's only going to be like 74 mph, doesn't matter which direction. Velocity is a vector, meaning it has direction. You can go -74mph when talking about velocity, not speed.

Incomplete question as the mass of baseball is missing.I have assume 0.2kg mass of baseball.So complete question is:

A baseball has mass 0.2 kg.If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/sm/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and of the impulse applied to it by the bat.

Answer:

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=0.2 kg

Initial speed Vi=-44.5m/s

Final speed Vf=55.5 m/s

Required

Change in momentum ΔP

Solution

First we take the batted balls velocity as the final velocity and its direction is the positive direction and we take the pitched balls velocity as the initial velocity and so its direction will be negative direction.So we have:

v_{i}=-44.5m/s\\v_{f}=55.5m/s

Now we need to find the initial momentum

So

P_{1}=m*v_{i}

Substitute the given values

P_{1}=(0.2kg)(-44.5m/s)\\P_{1}=-8.9kg.m/s

Now for final momentum

P_{2}=mv_{f}\\P_{2}=(0.2kg)(55.5m/s)\\P_{2}=11.1kg.m/s

So the change in momentum is given as:

ΔP=P₂-P₁

=[(11.1kg.m/s)-(-8.9kg.m/s)]\\=20kg.m/s

ΔP=20 kg.m/s

Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.  Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.
