Question

Aiden takes 0.10s to throw a baseball, which leaves his hand with a velocity of 49m/s. The balls acceleration is

Answer 1

Since the ball was not moving before it let Aiden's hand, the formula used to calculate the acceleration is

`a = (v)/(t)`
, where a is acceleration, v is velocity and t is the time. We put them in the formula and get

`a = (49)/(0.1) \\ a = (490)/(1) \\ a = 490`
The acceleration is 490 m/s^2
