A cricket ball of mass 160 g is bowled at 40 m·s−1 towards a batsman. Calculate the momentum of the cricket ball.
Chipa Thomas Maimela‘s insight:
Identify what information is given and what is asked for
The question explicitly gives
the mass of the ball (m = 160 g = 0,16 kg), and the
Identify what information is given and what is asked for
The question explicitly gives
- the mass of the ball (m = 160 g = 0,16 kg), and
- the velocity of the ball
= 40 m·s−1 towards the batsman)
To calculate the momentum we will use
Do the calculation
Quote the final answer
The momentum of the cricket ball is 6,4 kg·m·s−1 in the direction of the batsman.
