Answer:
The work done by the gravity on the baseball is 31.55 Joules.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the baseball, m = 0.14 kg
Speed of the baseball, v = 28 m/s
We need to find the work done by the gravity on the baseball when it reaches a height of 23 meters above the bat. We know that the product of force and displacement is called work done. It is given by :
[tex]W=F\times d[/tex]
Here, F = mg
[tex]W=mgd\\\\W=0.14\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 23\ m\\\\W=31.55\ J[/tex]
So, the work done by the gravity on the baseball is 31.55 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
