In 18 U Gold softball and collegiate softball, the distance from the plate to the pitching mound is 43 feet. This is because the pitchers at these levels throw much faster than the pitchers in the lower levels. In high school at 14U - 18U the pitching distance is 40 feet. Notice there is a difference between 18U and 18U Gold level.

No...If the softball was pitched from a distance of 43 feet it is equivalent to a ball thrown just over 95 mph from a distance of 60' 6" which is the pitching distance in major league baseball. If the 68 mph pitch was thrown from 40 feet then it is equal to a 102 plus mph pitch at 60 feet 6 inches. Because speed is the relevance of time and distance then a ball thrown from 2 different distances and takes the same amount of time to travel each distance means the further of which will have to travel faster to cover more distance.
well, a stopwatch and a speedometer will do. Get the speed and time of going through this distance, and multiply by them, you will get the number.
avg speed=total distance/total time avg speed=60/20=3mtr/sec
if it had a large weight it was throwing then it probably would affect the throwing distance and height...the best rock thrower is called a trebuchet. it could also affect the speed the progectile is moving making it fall short of the desired distance. If it is too heavy the catapult might not be able to lift the progectile off the ground. hope this helps -coliam
