A baseball has a mass of 135 grams and a softball has a mass of 270 grams. In which of the following situations would they have the same momentum?
Group of answer choices

The baseball is thrown twice as fast as the softball in the same direction.
The baseball and softball are thrown at the same speed in opposite directions.
The baseball and softball are thrown at the same speed in the same direction.
The baseball and softball would have the same momentum in the following situation:
The baseball and softball are thrown at the same speed in opposite directions.
This is because momentum is calculated by multiplying mass and velocity, so in order for the baseball and softball to have the same momentum, both their mass and velocity must be taken into consideration.
