Question

A baseball is thrown with a speed of 36 meters per second (m/s). What is the distance

from the mound to home plate if the ball takes 0.5 seconds to leave the pitcher's hand
and cross the plate?
72 meters
41 meters
31 meters
18 meters

Answer 1

18 meters

36m/s ÷ 2 = 18 m/s

Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

d = r * t

Givens

r = 36 m/s

t = 0.5 sec

Solution

d = r * t

d = 36 * 0.5

d = 18 m/s
