Since acceleration is measured in whole seconds, you need to know how many times 0.157seconds goes into 1 second ... (just divide 1 by 0.157) = 6.369

So if in 0.157seconds the baseball went from zero to 38m/s, then to find out how fast it would be traveling after one whole second just multiply 38m/s by 6.369

38m/s x 6.369 = 242.038 m/s^2
