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

Given:

distance = 48 meter

time = 1.5 second

To find:

How fast he pitch = ?

Formula used:

Speed of the ball is given by,

speed=

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=

v=

v=

v=

v=32 m/s

Thus, his pitch is 32 m/s fast.
