Joe can pitch a baseball a distance of 48 meters in 1.5 seconds.How fast is his pitch?A.3.1 m/s B. 32 m/s C. 48 m/s D.72m/s

Answer :

Given:

distance = 48 meter

time = 1.5 second

To find:

How fast he pitch = ?

Formula used:

Speed of the ball is given by,

speed=[tex] \frac{distance}{time} [/tex]

Solution:

Joe can pitch a baseball a distance of 48 meters in 1.5 seconds.

Let s is the distance travelled by the ball, t is the time in which ball travel the distance s and v is the speed of ball with which it moved.

Thus, speed of ball is given by,

speed=[tex] \frac{distance}{time} [/tex]

v=[tex] \frac{s}{t} [/tex]

v=[tex] \frac{48 m}{ 1.5 s} [/tex]

v=[tex] \frac{s}{t} [/tex]

v=32 m/s

Thus, his pitch is 32 m/s fast.
