Answer:
Pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²
Step-by-step explanation:
Force applied on baseball = 30 times weight of the ball.
Weight of ball = mg, where m is the mass of ball and g is acceleration due to gravity value.
We have force applied is also equal to product of mass and acceleration.
F = ma = 30 x mg
a = 30g
So, pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²
