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.
A baseball has a mass of 145 g. A pitcher throws the baseball so that it accelerates at a rate of 80 m/s2. How much force did the pitcher apply to the baseball?(1 point)
