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.
