Answer:
1. The baseball will hit the bat at a force of 1.875 Newtons (N)
2. The basketball is being pushed to roll to the right of its original position with an applied rightward force. There is a force of friction to the left, a normal force of the floor acting upwards on the ball, and a gravity force of the Earth acting downwards on the ball.
Explanation:
1. To calculate force, you just have to multiply mass (m) and acceleration (a). F = m * a --> F = 0.075kg * 25 m/s^2 = 1.875 N.
2. Use your knowledge of different types of forces and free-body diagrams to come to this conclusion.
