Question

Red Sox designated hitter, David Ortiz, swings at a 0.15 kg baseball and accelerates it at a rate of 3.0 • 10^4 m/s^2. How much force does Ortiz exert on the ball?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A lot. That's why he was one of Boston's star hitters.

m = 0.15 kg

a = 3.0 * 10^4

F = ?

F = 0.15 * 3*10^4

F = 0.45 * 10^4

F = 4.5 * 10^3 Newtons

You should always express scientific notation as a number between 1 and 10 or 1 < x < 10. The power will determine the exact value of the number expressed as a scientific notation.
