1. A baseball is traveling at +18 m/s and is caught by a player. The ball is brought to rest in 0.5 s. What is the acceleration of the ball?
Maybe vf=vi+ at ?
This is under a Horizontal Projectiles worksheet by the way...I'm not sure what to do on this one though. At first I thought to use the equation above and make 18 the final velocity since that's how it's caught...but then what would be the initial? So then I thought...okay maybe the initial could be 18 and the final is 0 since it says 'at rest'. I don't know, this is a bit complicated. Well, If I do it the second way, I get 36 m/s^2
