Forces That Accelerate

     When ever there is a force placed upon something, it will accelerate.  If it accelerates, inertia will  make it keep accelerating, or more specifically, it will have it remain unchanged.

An example of this is a baseball and a bat.  When a baseball is flying through the air, it would keep going and going if it was not for the unbalanced and outside force known as gravity.  However, when it is hit by a bat, the force of the bat will cause it to accelerate.  We can find out the force that was put on the ball by a simple equation.  Fnet=ma where m=mass and a=acceleration.
