A baseball pitcher in good form can throw a baseball that attains a speed of $92$ mi$/$h in a distance of $1\mathrm{.}6$ m$.$ Assume that the ball starts from rest and its mass is $0\mathrm{.}15$ kg$.$

$($a$)$

Determine the average force $($in N$)$ exerted on the ball.

N

$($b$)$

How would the pitcher need to alter the required force to reach the same speed if the mass of the ball is increased?

The pitcher would need to increase the force.The pitcher would need to decrease the force.$$ The pitcher would not need to change the force.
