Question

A baseball has a mass of 145 g. a bat exerts a force of 18,400 n on the ball. what is the acceleration of the ball? 1.27 x 102 m/s2 2.67 x 103 m/s2 1.27 x 105 m/s2 2.67 x 106 m/s2

Answer 1

The acceleration of the ball is 1.27 X 10⁵ m/s²

The Newtons second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

Given,

Mass = 145 kg

Force = 18,400 N

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration(a)

a = F/m  where F= force and m= mass

Put the values in the formula,

 a = 18,400/(145 X 10⁻³) = 1.27 X 10⁵ m/s²

Therefor, the acceleration of the ball is 1.27 X 10⁵ m/s².
