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?
