Answer: Yes the energy of a baseball can break a window, but the force of what is launching the ball does matter too. if it is lightly thrown, then the window will appear a little shaken, but if thrown harder the window will break.

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the annealing process of hardening tempered glass, the force required to break the window is much more than breaking a normal pane. Depending on the manufacturer, the force required to break tempered glass ranges from 20,000 to 24,000 PSI (or pounds per square inch).
