it i throw a ball 210 feet

and the ball weighs 5.25 ounces (148.83 grams)

then how fast am i throwing the baseball.?

please help me out.

i really need to know.

i know it has to do with the

distance = mass over velocity formula

  1. idk but can you go on aim for a minute i got to ask u a couple questions...i already added ur screename sexyy_mexy??

    mines mrevan10 if thts not urs jus add me

    thanks...


  2. Distance = mass/velocity

    210=5.25/V

    210/V=5.25

    5.25/210=V

    0.02m/s=V or  0.7m/s

  3. I will assume that you threw the baseball vertically upwards and ignoring any air resistance, the formula that applies to this problem is

    Vf^2 - Vo^2 = 2gs

    where

    Vf = final velocity of the ball = 0 (when ball reaches its peak)

    Vo = initial velocity at which ball was thrown

    g = acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/sec^2

    s = height attained by baseball = 210 feet

    Also, note that this problem is in the category of freely falling bodies hence the mass is not relevant to the solution.

    Substituting values,

    0 - Vo^2 = 2(-32.2)(210)

    NOTE the negative sign attached to the acceleration due to gravity. This simply means that the ball is slowing down as it is going up.

    Therefore,

    -Vo^2 = -13524

    Vo = 116.29 ft/sec.

  4. 3000 miles an hour

    Didn't like me calling you out on your retail fraud with the baseball bat?
