When does a baseball achieve maximum speed?

When pitched, the horizontal acceleration ends when it leaves the pitcher's hand, which is its maximum speed. It will still accelerate downward due to gravity, but this is much less than the loss of velocity due to air resistance.When being hit, the maximum speed is at the instant it leaves contact with the bat.(For reference purposes, the fastest thrown pitches are between 100 and 105 mph, or 44 to 47 meters/second, while home-run hits exceed 110 mph, or 49 m/sec.)


What is pitch time?

In baseball, the time of pitch is that instant when the pitcher has begun his pitching motion and, by the rules, has committed himself to throwing the pitch. This instant thus occurs before the pitcher actually releases the ball. Once a pitcher commits himself to throwing a pitch, it is illegal for him to return to his set. If that happens, he is charged with a balk, and any baserunners are allowed to advance a base. A baserunner's time-of-pitch base is the base which he has last legally reached at the time of pitch.


What is the maximum speed at which a baseball can travel?

The maximum speed at which a baseball can travel is around 105 miles per hour when thrown by a professional pitcher.


When a pitcher is holding a baseball the ball has energy. After the pitcher throws the ball the ball has energy.?

The Ball has energy in the form of potential energy as if it was released it would fall to the ground. The pitcher uses chemical energy to move his arm and give momentum to the ball. The ball's energy is now transformed to kinetic energy as it moves through the air.


What Is an example of projectile?

An example of a projectile is a baseball being thrown from a pitcher to a batter. The baseball follows a curved path through the air under the influence of gravity after it is released from the pitcher's hand, moving in a projectile motion until it reaches the batter's glove or bat.

How much force in Newtons does a baseball pitcher have to exert on a 250 g baseball to make it accelerate to 50 miles per second the instant that it leaves his hand?

Force = mass x acceleration Therefore you need to know what time it takes to accelerate the 250 gramme ball from zero to 50 miles per second. ( 50 mi/s is supersonic, did you mean 50mph?) Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) divided by time. Therefore a = (80 467.2 m.s-1 - 0) / t seconds. Therefore force (Newtons) = 0.25 kilogramme x 80 467.2 m.s-1 / t seconds. (80 467.2 metres per second = 50 miles per second) (no baseball pitcher can ever achieve that, by the way).

How much energy does a baseball that weighs 1 point 3 newtons that is thrown so that it attains a velocity of 18 meters per second possess?

Since the ball weighs 1.3 newtons on earth, its mass is (1.3/9.8) kilograms.When tossed, its kinetic energy is (1/2 m V2) = (0.5 x (1.3/9.8) x 324) = 21.49 joules (rounded)This number is only valid at the instant the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. It immediatelybegins to lose kinetic energy as air resistance slows it down, but it also gains kinetic energyas gravity accelerates it toward the ground.
