Chapter 3, Problem 45GP
|| The longest home run. 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. (a) 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 0.9 m (3.0 ft) above ground level? Assume that the ground was perfectly flat. (b) How far would the ball be above a fence 3.0 m (10 ft) in height if the fence were 116 m (380 ft) from home plate?
