    It will take 0.46 seconds to reach home plate by ball.

    Explanation:

    A pitcher throws a fastball horizontally toward home plate 18.39 meters away, so horizontal displacement = 18.39 meter.

    The ball is traveling at a speed of 40.0 m/s, so horizontal velocity = 40.0 m/s

    We know that displacement = Velocity * Time

    So time required, T = Displacement/Velocity = 18.39/40 = 0.46 seconds

    It will take 0.46 seconds to reach home plate by ball.
