Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
$textbf{Given: }$

The mass of the baseball is $m = 0.142 mathrm{~kg}$. The speed of the baseball is $v = 45.1 mathrm{~m/s}$.

$textbf{Required: }$

Finding the magnitude of the momentum of the baseball.

Step 2
2 of 3
$textbf{Calculation: }$

In order to evaluate the magnitude of the Momentum of the baseball, we use the formula that is given in the second yellow box:

$$
begin{align*}
p &= m ~ v \
&= 0.142 mathrm{~kg} times 45.1 mathrm{~m/s} \
&= 6.4042 mathrm{~kg cdot m/s} \
end{align*}
$$

So, the magnitude of the Momentum of the baseball is $6.4042 mathrm{~kg cdot m/s}$.

Result
3 of 3
The magnitude of the Momentum of the baseball is $6.4042 mathrm{~kg cdot m/s}$.
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 2
$textbf{Concept:}$ The formula for momentum will be used to find the speed of dog

$$
textbf{Solution:}
$$

The formula for momentum is.

$$
p=mv
$$

indent Using the above definition we can say that

$$
Rightarrow v = frac{p}{m}=dfrac{37;kgcdot m/s}{12;kg}=boxed{bf 3.1m/s}
$$

Result
2 of 2
$$
3.1; m/s
$$
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 2
$textbf{Concept:}$

Then momentum for each object can find by product of mass and speed for each of the case:

$textbf{Solution:}$

$$
p_A=m_A v_A=(10,kg)(10,m/s)=100,kg.m/s
$$

$$
p_B=m_B v_B=(15,kg)(4,m/s)=60,kg.m/s
$$

$$
p_C=m_C m_C=(5,kg)(20,m/s)=100,kg.m/s
$$

$$
p_D=m_D m_D=(60,kg)(3,m/s)=180,kg.m/s
$$

In order to arrive at result, we compare the results of momentum:

$$
boxed{bf color{#4257b2}p_B< p_A=p_D<p_C}
$$

Result
2 of 2
$$
p_B<p_A=p_C<p_D
