What is the momentum of a 0.150kg baseball thrown with a velocity of 35m/s toward home plate?
Momentum is a measure of the quantity of motion an object has. It is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its velocity.
The momentum of a 0.150kg baseball thrown at 35m/s is 5.25 kg*m/s.
The momentum of an object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that the larger the mass of the baseball, the greater its momentum will be.
The momentum of an object is directly proportional to its velocity. This means that the faster the baseball is thrown, the greater its momentum will be.
Yes, according to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of a system remains constant unless acted upon by an external force. In this scenario, the momentum of the baseball before and after it is thrown remains the same, unless acted upon by an external force like air resistance or gravity.
