Answer 1

Answer: 20.73m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The question simply wants us to calculate the speed of the pitch. The speed will be calculated as:

= Distance/Time

where,

Distance = 85 meters

Time = 4.1 seconds

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 85/4.1

Speed = 20.73m/s

Therefore, the speed of the pitch is 20.73m/s.
