What is the magnitude of the momentum of the 0.057-kg tennis ball when it travels at a speed of 29 m/s? Earth is the frame of reference.
To calculate the magnitude of momentum, we need to use the formula:
Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)
In this case, the mass of the tennis ball (m) is given as 0.057 kg, and the velocity (v) is given as 29 m/s.
So, we can substitute these values into the formula:
p = 0.057 kg × 29 m/s
Now, let's calculate the value:
p = 1.653 kg·m/s
Therefore, the magnitude of the momentum of the tennis ball is 1.653 kg·m/s.
momentum = m v = .057 * 29
the units are kg·m/s
