Find how much work has gravity done on the baseball

Reference no: EM13665458

A batter hits a baseball with mass 0.146 kilogram straight upward with an initial speed of 26.0 m/s.

(a) Find how much work has gravity done on the baseball when it reaches a height of 15.5 meter above the bat?

(b) Use the work-energy theorem to determine the speed of the baseball at a height of 15.5 meter above the bat. You can ignore air resistance.
