According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the loingest home run ever measured was hit by Roy "Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor league game, with the ball traveling 188 m (i.e. 618ft) befor landing on the ground outside of the ballpark. Assuming the ball's initial velocity was 45.0 degress abbout the horizontal (ignoring air resistace), what did the initital speeed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run given that the ball was hit at a point 0.900 m (i.e. 3.00ft) about ground level. Assume the ground is flat and explain how the assuumption that the ground is flat is required to complete this calculation.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest home run ever measured was hit by Roy "Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor-league game. The ball traveled 188 m (618 ft ) before landing on the ground outside the ballpark. Assuming that the ball's initial velocity was 45∘ above the horizontal, and ignoring air resistance, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run if the ball was hit at a point 1.0 m (3.3 ft ) above ground level? Assume that the ground was perfectly flat.
