How fast would you have to throw a baseball (m = 145 g) to give it the same momentum as a 10-g bullet traveling at 800 m/s?

    Momentum of the bullet is m*v = 0.01 kg * 800 m/s = 8 kgm/s

    so momentum of baseball also = 8 kgm/s

    8 = mass of baseball * velocity

    8 = 0.145 * v

    on solving for v,

    v = 55.17 m/s which is the required velocity
