Question

question 1-6 calculate the momentum of baseball - sized hail (0.200 kg) as it falls towards earth. the hail is falling toward earth at 39.3 m/s. 7.86 kg·m/s 197 kg·m/s 7860 kg·m/s 5.09 kg·m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall momentum formula

Momentum $p = m \times v$, where $m$ is mass, $v$ is velocity.

Step2: Substitute given values

$m = 0.200\ \text{kg}$, $v = 39.3\ \text{m/s}$
$p = 0.200 \times 39.3$

Step3: Calculate the product

$p = 7.86\ \text{kg·m/s}$

Answer:

7.86 kg·m/s
