Answer:
[tex] \huge\boxed {\sf Velocity}[/tex]
Explanation:
The unit of measurement is m/s hence it can not inertia or force because the unit of intertia and force are kg m² & kg⋅m/s² respectively, hence Option C and Option D can not be the right answer.
To understand the final answer one must know the difference between velocity and speed.
Velocity is a vector quantity which is direction specific. It's the displacement per unit time, the displacement is an vector quantity.
[tex] \sf \: Velocity = \frac{Displacement }{Time} [/tex]
Velocity can be positive negative or zero!
Speed is a scalar quantity which tells the distance covered in unit time. since it's a scalar it have magnitude only, not direction.
[tex] \sf \: Speed = \frac{Distance }{Time} [/tex]
Speed is always either zero or positive.
In the question it tells the baseball is flying through the air at 40 m/s east,
if it was only 40m/s with no direction then it would be speed. but the east is indicating the direction and velocity includes the direction hence the given measurement represents Velocity.
