Question

The pitcher’s mound in baseball is 85 m from the plate. It takes 4 seconds for a pitch to reach the plate. How fast is the pitch?

Answer 1

21.25 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the pitch is equal to the distance the baseball travels (85 m) divided by the time it took for it to cover that distance (4). In short, we are dividing 85 by 4 to reach our answer of 21.25 meters per second.
