The fastest recorded delivery for a cricket ball is 161.3 km/hr , bowled by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan during a match against England in the 2003 Cricket World Cup, held in South Africa. Calculate the ball’s momentum if it has a mass of 160 g.

 Given data here are,

velocity , v= 161.3 km/ hr = 161.3 x 1000/ 3600 m/s

v = 1613/36 m/s = 44.805 m/s 

mass, m = 160g = 0.160kg

therefore momentum p is

p = m x v

p = 0.160 x 44.805 

p = 7.1688 kgm/s
