A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 42.5 m/s (about 95 mi/h). Before being caught, the baseball travels a horizontal distance of 17.6 m and rotates through an angle of 48.1 rad. The baseball has a radius of 3.67 cm and is rotating about an axis as it travels, much like the earth does. What is the tangential speed of a point on the "equator" of the baseball?

A baseball has a velocity of 40.6 m/s (90.8 mi/h), directed horizontally, as it is released by a pitcher. The ball's velocity 0.0100 s before it is released is 38.7 m/s, directed 3.75° above the horizontal. Calculate the ball's instantaneous acceleration just before it is released. magnitude direction below the horizon
