Problem 2:
In baseball the pitcher will throw baseballs horizontally and to account for gravity, the
pitcher will stand upon a raised mound. Take the pitcher's release point to be 1.2m above
the ground and they will hit a spot 0.7m above the ground at a distance 20m away.
a)
Draw ST vs t, sy VS t, Uz VS t,, Vy vs t, a vs t,, and ay vs t, graphs of
the baseball's motion
b)
from Kinematic Equations on the first page
Prove that the velocity needed is =
9(Asz)²
V24sy
symbolically by starting
c)
If the pitcher was playing on Mars (g = 3.7m/s, negligible air resistance)
how fast would they have to pitch?
A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizontally from an elevation 3.0 m above the ground. The ball lands 20 m away. What is his pitching speed?
A boy is standing from the top of a cliff 8 m from the ground
and he has a bow which is aimed 40 degrees from the horizontal. He
can release the bow with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. An
animal is below the cliff and is moving towards the boy at a
velocity of 5 m/s. For the bow to hit the animal, at what distance
D should the animal be when the bow is fired?

- A ball is shot from ground level over level ground at a certain initial speed. The figure gives the range R of the ball versus its launch angle 8g. In the following questions, you will be ranking various points on the path. If multiple points rank equally, use the same rank for each, then exclude the intermediate ranking (i.e. if objects A, B, and C must be ranked, and A and B must both be ranked first, the ranking would be A:1, B:1, C:3). If all points rank equally, rank each as '1'. LINK TO TEXT Rank the three lettered points on the plot according to the ball's speed at maximum height, greatest first. R Point a Point b Point c 1.
