Answer:

786.2m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 114N

Mass = 0.145kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the baseball = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion, the product of mass and acceleration is the net force on the body;

Force = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and find the acceleration;

114 = 0.145 x acceleration

Acceleration =
(114)/(0.145) = 786.2m/s²
