BIO Human Biomechanics. The fastest pitched baseball was measured at 46 m/s. A typical baseball has a mass of 145 g. If the pitcher exerted his force (assumed to be horizontal and constant) over a distance of 1.0 m, (a) what force did he produce on the ball during this record-setting pitch? (b) Draw free-body diagrams of the ball during the pitch and just after it left the pitcher’s hand.

- 10 of 31 Listen Study the scenario. A car is moving along a frictionless surface with a speed of 2 m/s to the left. You and your friend each come over and push the car at the same time. You exert a force of 6 N to the left, while your friend exerts a force of 6 N to the right. According to Newton's first law, how will this action affect the car's motion? The car will speed up because your force is in the same direction of the car's motion, making it speed up. The car will stop immediately because two balanced forces will cause an object to stop moving. The car will continue moving to the left but at a slower speed because your friend's force is going to make the car slow down. The car will continue to move 2 m/s to the left because there are balanced forces acting on it.arrow_forwardA “sun yacht” is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight.
