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?

Respuesta :

By definition, we have to:

[tex] F = m * a
[/tex]

Where,

F: force [N]

m: mass of the object [Kg]

a: acceleration of the object [m / s ^ 2]

Clearing the acceleration we have:

[tex] a = \frac{F}{m}
[/tex]

Substituting values we have:

[tex] a = \frac{18400}{0.145}

a = 126896.5517
[/tex]

Rounding the nearest whole we have:

[tex] a = 126897 \frac{m}{s^2}
[/tex]

Answer:

the acceleration of the ball is:

[tex] a = 126897 \frac{m}{s^2} [/tex]
