a pitcher throws a 0.35 kg ball, giving it an acceleration of 10.0 m/s. what would the acceleration be, if the pitcher threw the ball with twice the force?

Given :

Mass, m = 0.35 kg

Acceleration, a = 10 m/s²

We know,

Force = mass × Acceleration

So,

Force = 0.35 × 10

= 3.5 N

Now, according to question Force is doubled

So, F = 3.5 × 2 = 7 N

Now, we have to find Acceleration when F = 7N and mass is 0.35 kg

So,

7 = 0.35 × a

a = 7/0.35

a = 20 m/s²

Hence, Acceleration is 20 m/s².
