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
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)
