To calculate the force applied to the baseball, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a), or F = m * a.
Given:
Mass (m) = 145 g = 0.145 kg
Acceleration (a) = 80 m/s^2
Plugging in the values:
F = 0.145 kg * 80 m/s^2
F = 11.6 N
Therefore, the pitcher applied a force of 11.6 N to the baseball.
To calculate the force applied to the baseball, you can use the formula: force = mass * acceleration.
Given:
Mass = 145 g = 0.145 kg
Acceleration = 80 m/s²
Plug these values into the formula:
Force = 0.145 kg * 80 m/s²
Calculate the force:
Force = 11.6 N
So, the pitcher applied a force of 11.6 N to the baseball. The correct answer is 11.6 N.
To find the force applied by the pitcher to the baseball, we can use Newton's second law of motion. The formula is F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
In this case, the mass of the baseball is given as 145 g, which is equivalent to 0.145 kg. The acceleration is given as 80 m/s2.
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
F = (0.145 kg) x (80 m/s2)
Multiplying these values together, we get:
F = 11.6 N
Therefore, the force applied by the pitcher to the baseball is 11.6 N.
So, the correct answer is 11.6 N.
