Question

A baseball has a mass of 145 g. A pitcher throws the baseball so that it accelerates at a rate of 80 m/s². How much force did the pitcher apply to the

baseball? (1 point)
O 11.6 N
O 0.6 N
O 18 N
O 65 N

Answer 1

The mass of the baseball is 145 g or 0.145 kg.
The acceleration is given as 80 m/s^2.

Substituting these value into the formula, we get:

Force = 0.145 kg • 80 m/s^2

F= 11.6 ( Newton )


Solution

The pitcher applied 11.6 N force
