Force, pressure, and charge are all what are called <em>derived units</em>. They come from algebraic combinations of <em>base units</em>, measures of things like length, time, temperature, mass, and current. <em>Speed, </em>for instance, is a derived unit, since it's a combination of length and time in the form [speed] = [length] / [time] (miles per hour, meters per second, etc.)
Force is defined with Newton's equation F = ma, where m is an object's mass and a is its acceleration. It's unit is kg·m/s², which scientists have called a <em>Newton</em>. (Example: They used <em>9 Newtons</em> of force)
Pressure is force applied over an area, defined by the equation P = F/A. We can derive its from Newtons to get a unit of N/m², a unit scientists call the <em>Pascal</em>. (Example: Applying <em>100 Pascals </em>of pressure)
Finally, charge is given by the equation Q = It, where I is the current flowing through an object and t is how long that current flows through. It has a unit of A·s (ampere-seconds), but scientist call this unit a Coulomb. (Example: 20 <em>Coulombs</em> of charge)
As the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, the electric potential decreases.
<h3>
Electric potential between particles</h3>
The electric potential between particles is the work done in moving a unit charge from infinity to a certain point against the electrical resistance of the field.
V = Kq/r
where;
- K is Coulomb's constant
- q is the magnitude of the charge
- r is the distance between the charges
Thus, from the formula above, as the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, the electric potential decreases.

Answer:
There are <u>5</u> significant figures.
Explanation:
You must start conting your sig figs until you continue to hit zeros at the end. Those zeroes at the end are disregarded. So 0.0609 is where you get your <em>sig figs</em> from.
consider the velocity towards the pitcher as positive
m = mass of the baseball = 0.145 kg
v₀ = initial velocity of the baseball = - 39 m/s
v = final velocity of the baseball = 52 m/s
t = time of contact = 3 x 10⁻³ sec
F = average force between bat and ball
Using impulse-change in momentum equation
F t = m (v - v₀ )
F (3 x 10⁻³) = (0.145) (52 - (- 39))
F = 4398.33 N
