Answer 2

The average speed of the baseball is 26 m /s.

Explanation:

Here, the total distance traveled by baseball = 114 meters

Time taken to cover this distance = 4.4 seconds

Now,
`\textrm{Average Speed} =  \frac{\textrm{Total Distnance traveled}}{\textrm{Total time taken}}`

So, average speed =
`(114 m)/(4.4s) = 25.9m/s`

and , 25.9 m/s is approximately 26 m/s.

Hence, the average speed of the baseball is 26 m /s.
