Question

With what velocity Must a 0.53 kg softball be moving to be equal to the momentum of a 0.31 kg baseball moving at 21 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:12.28m/s

Explanation:

momentum of baseball =mass of baseball x velocity of baseball

Momentum of baseball =0.31x21

Momentum of baseball =6.51kgm/s

For a softball to have same momentum with the baseball we can say :momentum of baseball =mass of softball x velocity of softball

6.51=0.53 x velocity of softball

Velocity of softball =6.51/0.53

Velocity of softball =12.28m/s
