Potential energy U = mgh
Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N
Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4
Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.
I'm stuck on the same question, as well :(
