Answer:
14.79 kgm/s
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Let us assume the mass of baseball = m = 0.145 kg
The Initial velocity of pitched ball = [tex]v_i[/tex] = 47 m/s
Final velocity of batted ball in the opposite direction = [tex]v_f[/tex]= -55m/s
Based on the above information, the change in momentum is
[tex]\Delta P = m(v_f -v_i)[/tex]
[tex]= 0.145 kg(-55m/s - 47m/s)[/tex]
= 14.79 kgm/s
Hence, the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball is 14.79 kg m/s
