    F = 1.14 N

    Explanation:

    Let F be the force acting on the baseball and let m = 142 g = 142*10^-3 kg and a = 8 m/s^2.

    Then according to Newton's second Law of motion, the force is given by:

    F = m*a

    = (142*10^-3) * (8)

    = 1.136 N

    Therefore, the force acting on the baseball is 1.14 N.
