Question

A batter strikes a baseball of mass 0.15 kg with a force of 18 kn. whats the acceleration of the baseball? 9.8 m/s^2 120000 m/s^2 2700 m/s^2 8.3 m/s^2

Answer 1

To calculate the acceleration of the baseball, we use the expression F = ma where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:

F = ma
18000 = 0.15a
a = 120000 m/s^2 ------> SECOND OPTION
