An example of a system with decreasing gravitational potential energy is a ball in free fall. 

At its initial height h, the ball has a gravitational potential energy equal to
U=mgh
where m is the ball mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. As the ball falls toward the ground, its height h decreases, and so its gravitational potential energy decreases as well, according to the formula 
U=mgh'
where h' is the new height of the ball.

A pitcher exerts a force on a baseball that is 30 times the balls weight. How fast is the pitcher accelerating the ball?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

 Pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

Explanation:

  Force applied on baseball = 30 times weight of the ball.

   Weight of ball = mg, where m is the mass of ball and g is acceleration due to gravity value.

  We have force applied is also equal to product of mass and acceleration.

                            F = ma = 30 x mg

                                 a = 30g

   So, pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

1)a persons ________ will change if they move from the earth to the moon
fgiga [73]

A person's weight will change if they move from the earth to the moon. This does not however, change the person's mass. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is how much space it takes up. On the moon, there is a lighter gravitational pull on said person, so they will not weigh as much if they stepped on a scale.
