Jakob Lloyd · Answer 1

Answer: momentum = 6kgm/s

Explanation:

given that the baseball pitcher is at stationary position, his velocity will be equal to zero. If velocity is zero, his linear momentum will therefore equal to zero.

Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Given that the baseball has

Mass M = 0.15 kg

Velocity V = 40 m/s

Momentum = MV

Momentum = 0.15 * 40 = 6 kgm/s
