The fastest pitched baseball was clocked at 46 m/s. If the pitcher exerted his force (assumed to be horizontal and constant) over a distance of 1.0 m, and a baseball has a mass of 145 g,

a. Draw a free-body diagram of the ball during the pitch.

b. What force did the pitcher exert on the ball during this record-setting pitch?

c. Estimate the force in part b as a fraction of the pitcher's weight.
