Potential energy relative to the surface is
(mass) x (<span>acceleration due to gravity) x (height above the surface).
At 1.0 meter above the surface, that is
</span> (mass) x (<span>acceleration due to gravity) x (1.0 meter) .
The object's mass doesn't change, so the only thing that has any effect
on its potential energy at 1 meter above the surface is the acceleration
of gravity or, in other words, the surface of <em><u>what</u></em> ?

The catalyst lowers the activation energy.
sound travels through air at around 340 - 350 m/s.
to cover 52 meters takes it, say, (52/345) = about 0.15 second
This would be the same time-lag even if it were not a major-league game,
except that you might not be able to get a seat 52 meters from home plate
at a little league or t-ball game.
Answer:
0.43 s
Explanation:
We have the following parameters:
Initial velocity, u = 7.4 m/s
Acceleration of gravity, g = 9.8 
Distance, s = 43 in + 10 ft = 1.092 m + 3.048 m = 4.14 m
Time, t = ?
Using the equation of motion 
, we have
Using the quadratic formula 
where a = 4.9, b = 7.4 and c = - 4.14, and solving for the positive value of t only, we have
s
In a stronger gravitational field a given mass will have a larger weight.
