what is the momentum of a 144 g baseball traveling at +44 m/s?

[GOD]

a. 0.3 kg m/s
b. 3.3 kg m/s
c. 6.34 kg m/s
d. 6336 kg m/s

note for the above: 144g = 0.144kg, not 0.144g...

 

[¿ /\/ /\/\. ?]

We can define the following..:
momentum = mass (in kg) * velocity (in m/s)

We know that 144g = 0.144kg

Thus,
momentum = (0.144) * (+44)
momentum = 6.336 = ~6.34kg * (m/s)

[Answer: C]

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, therefore,

144g(.044) = 6.34

C is the correct answer. This is like 5th grade stuff.
