Given:
Mass of baseball, m = 0.450 kg
Force, F = 1700 N
Let's find the acceleration of the baseball.
To find the acceleration, apply the Newton's second law.
[tex]F=m\ast a[/tex]WHere:
F is the force
m is the mass
a is the acceleration.
Since we are to find the acceleration, rewrite the equation for a:
Divide both sides by m
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{F}{m}=\frac{m\ast a}{m} \\ \\ \frac{F}{m}=a \\ \\ a=\frac{F}{m} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{1700}{0.450} \\ \\ a=3777.77m/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the acceleration of the baseball is 3777.77 m/s^2
ANSWER:
[tex]\text{ 3777.77 m/s}^2[/tex]
