Question is:
A .145kg baseball is thrown at 40 m/s (~89.5mph). What is the momentum of the baseball?
Enter units of momentum as kg m/s


I have used the following solutions for the question, but the answer I'm submitting is coming back wrong.

I have entered:
116 J
5.8 kgm/s

The formula I used to solve the question is p=mv p=(.145kg)(40m/s) = 5.8
Please help...
