If the pitcher was in contact with ball over a distance of 1.50 m and produced constant acceleration. (a.) what acceleration did he give the ball, and (b.) how much time did it take him to pitch? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #655665 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! It starts at zero and accelerates to 45 m/sec --> avg speed = 22.5 m/sec \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( " t = d/r = 1.5/22.5 = 1/15 second \n" ); document.write( "======== \n" ); document.write( "Acceleration = 45 m/sec/(1/15 sec) = 675 m/sec/sec \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
