Answer to Question #349016 in Physics for Sidss

Question

A golf ball travels at 16 m/s while a baseball moves at 7 m/s. The mass of the golf ball is 0.045kg and the mass of the baseball is 0.14kg. Which has a greater momentum?

Answer 1

$$p_{golf}=m_1v_1\\ =0.045\:\rm kg*16\:m/s=0.72\: kg\cdot m/s$$

$$p_{baseball}=m_2v_2\\ =0.14\:\rm kg*7\:m/s=0.98\: kg\cdot m/s$$

$$p_{baseball}>p_{golf}$$
