(II) A baseball pitcher throws a baseball with a speed of
43 m/s. Estimate the average acceleration of the ball
during the throwing
motion. In throwing
the baseball, the pitcher
accelerates it through
a displacement of about
3.5 m, from behind
3.5 m
the body to the point
where it is released
(Fig. 2–37).

- A person driving her car at 35 km/h approaches an inter- section just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow light lasts only 2.0s before turning to red, and she is 28 m away from the near side of the intersection (Fig. 2–49). Should she try to stop, or should she speed up to cross the intersection before the light turns red? The intersection is 15 m wide. Her car's maximum deceleration is -5.8 m/s?, whereas it can accelerate from 45 km/h to 65 km/h in 6.0 s.
