Question:
Human Biomechanics. The fastest pitched baseball was measured at Typically, a 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?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
