A pitcher exerts 100.0 N of force on a ball with a power output of 4,500 W. What is the velocity of the ball? 0.02 m/s, 45 m/s, 450 m/s, or 4500 m/s ?? :/ thank you!

Power is defined as the amount of work over a certain amount of time. Work is also Force times the distance traveled. Simplifying the expression makes it Power=Force x Velocity. Since we are given that the power is 4500 W and the force is 100 N, dividing the Power by force gives 45 m/s, which is the velocity of the ball.
