Question:

The gravitational force on a baseball is ─Fgj. A pitcher throws the baseball with velocity vi by uniformly accelerating it straight forward horizontally for a time interval Δt = t ─ 0 = t. If the ball starts from rest,
(a) Through what distance does it accelerate before its release?
(b) What force does the pitcher exert on the ball?
