Question

A baseball is thrown from the pitcher's

mound at 40 m/s. It takes 0.46 seconds for
the ball to reach home plate. What is the
distance between the mound and home
plate?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Velocity = distance / time

In this problem, we need to calculate for distance, knowing time and velocity.

multiply time on both sides, on the right side the time will cancel out leaving time alone.

velocity * time = distance

40m/s * 0.46s = distance

distance = 18.4 meters
