Answer:

• the speed of a baseball crossing home plate after being pitched depends on its initial velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed may be expected to decrease somewhat due to air resistance and/or wind, but there is insufficient information in this problem statement to say precisely what the decrease might be. The one thing you can say is that the final speed has a dependency on the initial speed (as well as a dependency on other factors).
