Question

A pitcher claims that he can throw a 0.145 kg baseball with as muchmomentum as a speeding bullet. Assume that a 3.00 g bullet moves at aspeed of 1.5 × 103 m/s. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data: 

Mass of baseball (m1) = 0.145 kg

Mass of bullet (m2) = 3.00 g = 3.00×10-3 kg

Speed of bullet (V2) = 1.5×103 m/s

Momentum of baseball (P1) = momentum of bullet (P2

Required:

The speed of the baseball (V1
