As a baseball is being thrown it goes from 0 m/s to 45 m/s in 0.25 seconds.  What is the acceleration of the baseball?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The initial speed of the baseball is,

vi = 0 m/s

The final speed of the baseball is,

vf = 45 m/s

The time required is,

t = 0.25 sec

Formula used:

Acceleration is the rate of change speed with respect to time. i.e.

a = vf-vit
