Suppose you throw a baseball (mass of 145 g) in the air with a force of 300 N. What is its acceleration?

A = 43.5 m/sec^2

Explanation:

A = F x m

Must turn g into kg

A = 300 N x 0.145 kg

A = 43.5

Hope this helps :)

increase masses, decrease separation

electric field is a function of 1/r^2

yes, the force per unit charge for a point charge is inverse square law.
