Answer #1

m = 145 g = 0.145 kg = mass of baseball

Vi = initial speed = 37 m/s

Vf = final speed =0

d = distance moved while slowing down = 22 cm = 0.22 m

a = acceleration

Using the equation

Vf2 = Vi2 + 2 a d

02 = 372 + 2 a (0.22)

a = - 3111.36 m/s2

force is given as

F = ma = 0.145 x 3111.36

F = 451.15 N
