Answer :
Answer:
The acceleration of the baseball is [tex]388.02\ m/s^2[/tex].
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the baseball, [tex]m_1=0.142\ kg[/tex]
Mass of the bat, [tex]m_2=3.41\ kg[/tex]
The baseball is hit by a baseball bat.
The force applied to the ball is 55.1 N. We need to find the acceleration of the baseball. It can be calculated using Newton's law. The force acting on the baseball is given by :
F = ma
a is the acceleration of the baseball
[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m_1}\\\\a=\dfrac{55.1\ N}{0.142\ kg}\\\\a=388.02\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the baseball is [tex]388.02\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
