Consider the motion of a baseball. It has an initial position (Xo Yo) = (0,3.5) feet when it is hit at an angle of 60° with an initial speed of 78 ft/s. Assume the x-axis is horizontal, the positive y-axis is vertical, the ground is horizontal, and only the gravitational force acts on the object. a. Find the velocity and position vectors, for t≥0. b. Determine the time of flight and range of the object. c. Determine the maximum height of the object.
