Question
A baseball player hits a ball 1.1m above the plate at an angle of 42 degrees at a speed of 35 m/s. In order to hit a home run, the ball has to clear a 2.4 m tall wall, 120 m away from the plate.
a) sketch the situation, including a coordinate system and the ball's trajectory.
b)how many seconds is the ball in the air, which it reaches the wall?
c) does the ball go over the wall for a home run? (find its vertical position at the appropriate time)
d) what is the ball's speed and direction, as it reaches the wall?

- Top Golf is a famous and well-known place for sports entertainment and family fun. Typically a building has two to three floors full of rooms for people to rent and relax in while they hit golf balls onto a 250-yard field. Suppose a person hits a golf ball from the second floor (h) with an initial velocity of 118 mph at a 15° angle (0). The golf ball is in the air for (t) secs and lands 170 (x) yards from its initial place. The path of the golf ball is depicted in figure 2. Hint: 1 mile 5280 ft, 1 yard = 3 ft = (i) How long does it take for the golf ball to land on the field in seconds? (t) (ii) At what height was the ball struck at in feet?
