Question

A baseball is hit with 114 newtons has a mass of 0.145kg. What is the acceleration of the baseball?​

Answer 1

Answer:

786.2m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 114N

Mass  = 0.145kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the baseball  = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion, the product of mass and acceleration is the net force on the body;

   Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and find the acceleration;

    114  = 0.145 x acceleration

   Acceleration  = $\frac{114}{0.145}$ = 786.2m/s²
