Answer:
6.8 Kg m/s
Explanation:
Linear Momentum
The linear momentum is defined as the product of the velocity of an object by its mass
P=mv
It's a vectorial magnitude, but if we use its equivalent scalar equation, then v is the speed
The measured speed of a pitch by Aroldis Chapman is v=47 m/s. The ball has a mass of m=145 gram=0.145 Kg. The maximum momentum of the ball was
P=(0.145 Kg)(47 m/s)=6.8 Kg m/s
The options don't show the units of the momentum, but we assumed to be Kg m/s, so the correct option is the third one
