A baseball has kinetic energy once it has left the pitchers had. Its has kinetic energy because the ball is in motion. The ball had potential energy before it was released. The potential energy was changed into kinetic energy because the ball was set into motion by the pitcher. A baseball almost always will have kinetic energy. This is true because it has kinetic energy when it leaves the pitchers hand, after the bat sends it into the air, and when the outfielders or the basemen are throwing the ball or catching the ball.
If a baseball has a mass of 5 newtons and a velocity of 10 m/s what is its kinetic energy?
