A pitcher exerts a force on a baseball that is 30 times the balls weight. How fast is the pitcher accelerating the ball?

Pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

Explanation:

Force applied on baseball = 30 times weight of the ball.

Weight of ball = mg, where m is the mass of ball and g is acceleration due to gravity value.

We have force applied is also equal to product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma = 30 x mg

a = 30g

So, pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²
