It is usually a continually varying amount which depends on its initial velocity - when it is pitched or hit - and other forces such as the acceleration due to gravity, aerodynamic drag and so on.

Does a baseball of softball have more kinetic energy when thrown at 35mph?

KE = 1/2mv2, where m is mass in kg, and vis velocity in m/s. Since both the baseball and the softball are thrown at the same velocity, the difference in KE comes down to mass. A baseball has a mass of 0.142kg - 0.149kg, and a softball has a mass of 0.177kg - 0.198kg. Therefore, since the softball has the greater mass, the softball would have more kinetic energy. The 2 after the v is supposed to be a superscript and is supposed to mean velocity squared.


What is the division 1 softball overhand throw velocity average?

The average overhand throw velocity for Division 1 softball players is around 60-70 miles per hour. This velocity can vary depending on the position of the player and their level of experience and training.


Does a softball have a positive or negative acceleration when it is thrown?

When a softball is thrown, it has a positive acceleration because its velocity is increasing with time as it moves through the air.

Baseball has a mass of 140 grams and a softball has a mass of 280 grams In which of the following situations would they both have the same momentum?

Unfortunately, your list of situations got lost, so there's no way for me to choose the correct one. But clearly, since the baseball's mass is only half the softball's mass, the baseball needs double the softball's speed in order to have the same momentum.


Why did they name softball softball?

They named it softball because the game of softball was derived from Baseball. The baseball had a hard core whereas the softball has a soft core, so they named it softball. Although the ball is not softball the core of the ball is soft.
