Let's say for the purpose of this question that a softball pitcher completes one perfect revolution during her fast pitch. The pitcher's arm is 0.81585 m, and she completes her pitch in 0.9s, what is the velocity of the ball as it travels around the arc? Assume she keeps her arm extended throughout the pitch, and round your answer to two decimal points. What is the centripetal acceleration of the softball?
