1. A baseball pitcher throws a fastball at a speed of 50.0 m/s. The acceleration occurs as the pitcher holds the ball in his hand and moves it through an almost straight-line distance of 4.2 m. Calculate the acceleration,
assuming it is uniform. Compare this acceleration to the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s?

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
