A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 14 m high, located 120 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 37° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. (Assume that the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.)
(a) Find the initial speed of the ball.
-answer in m/s
(b) Find the time it takes the ball to reach the wall.
-answer in s
(c) Find the velocity components of the ball when it reaches the
wall.
x-component | m/s |
y-component | m/s |
