1. 1.8N
2. 65N
3. 0.6N
4. 11.6N
To find the force applied to the baseball, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.
Force = mass x acceleration
Force = 0.145 kg x 80 m/s^2
Force = 11.6 N
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. 11.6N
