A baseball goes from zero to 37 m/s in 0.177 m/s. What is its average acceleration? Answer in units of m/s^2.
a = change in velocity / change in time
= 37 m/s / .177 s
To find the average acceleration, we need to use the formula:
Average acceleration = Change in velocity / Time
In this case, the change in velocity is given as 37 m/s, and the time is given as 0.177 seconds.
We can plug these values into the formula to calculate the average acceleration:
Average acceleration = 37 m/s / 0.177 s
Dividing 37 m/s by 0.177 s gives us a value of approximately 209.04 m/s^2.
So, the average acceleration of the baseball is approximately 209.04 m/s^2.
