During the pitching motion, a baseball pitcher exerted an average horizontal force of 90 N against the 0.1 kg baseball while moving it through a horizontal displacement of 2.0 m before release. (1) what was the amount of work performed by the pitcher on the baseball (2) If the velocity at the start of the pitching motion was zero, at release the ball was traveling horizontally at which velocity

Answer:

(1) 180 J

(2) 60 m/s

Explanation:

(1) From the question,

Amount of work performed by the pitcher on the baseball = Force × distance.

W = F×d............... Equation 1

Given: F = 90 N,  and d = 2.0 m.

Substitute into equation 1

W = 90×2

W = 180 Joules.

(2)

F = ma........... Equation 2

Where a = acceleration of the ball.

a = F/m

Given: F = 90 N, m = 0.1 kg.

therefore,

a = 90/0.1

a = 900 m/s².

Using,

v² = u² + 2as ............ Equation 3

Where u = 0 m/s, a = 900 m/s², s  = 2 m.

substitute into equation 3

v² = 0² + 2×900×2

v² = 3600

v = √3600

v = 60 m/s
