Question

a 0.145 kg baseball is thrown with an acceleration of 25 m/s². what force is applied to the ball?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Newton's second law \(F = ma\), where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration.

Step2: Substitute the values

Given \(m = 0.145\space kg\) and \(a=25\space m/s^{2}\), substitute into \(F = ma\).
\(F=(0.145)(25)\)

Step3: Calculate the result

\(F = 3.625\space N\)

Answer:

\(3.625\space N\)
