7.1 A 0.15-kg baseball is hit at a speed of 52 m/s in a horizontal line 1.4 m above the ground. When the baseball is 12 m from home plate, what is its angular momentum about home plate (i.e. with respect to home plate which we are calling the origin)? Give both magnitude and direction. (Let's agree on a co-ordinate system here where the ball's velocity is parallel to what we call the x-axis, and the z-direction is up. Make sure you know what this means for the y-direction.)
