Fastball thrown by.....travels at a speed of 145km/hr toward the batter who is 18.3 meters away. How long does it take the baseball to travel this distance.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Distance divided by Rate = Time
\n" ); document.write( "145 km/hr = 145000 meters per hour
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "18.3m / 145000 m/hr = 0.0001262...hrs
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Change to seconds:
\n" ); document.write( "0.0001262 hrs = 0.0001262*3600 seconds = 0.4543 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "============================================================
