Understanding Momentum

* Momentum (p) is a measure of an object's mass in motion. It's calculated by:

* p = m * v

* where:

* p is momentum (in kg*m/s)

* m is mass (in kg)

* v is velocity (in m/s)

Solving for Velocity

1. Given:

* Momentum (p) = 1300 kg*m/s

* Mass (m) = 15 kg

2. Rearrange the momentum formula to solve for velocity (v):

* v = p / m

3. Substitute the given values:

* v = 1300 kg*m/s / 15 kg

4. Calculate the velocity:

* v = 86.67 m/s (approximately)

Therefore, the speed of the baseball is approximately 86.67 meters per second.
