A baseball player at bat hits a ball to the outfield. Thebaseball is hit when it is at a height of 1.60 m above the homeplate. The ball’s velocity the instant it is hit is 34.00 m/s at anangle of exactly 54.00o above the horizontal. The balllands safely in the outfield. Assume that the entire baseballground is horizontal.
(a) What are the vertical and horizontal components of theball’s acceleration while it is in the air?
(b) What are the vertical and horizontal components of thebaseball’s speed the instant after it was hit?
(c ) What is the maximum height of the baseball above theground?
(d) What is the Range of the baseball?
(e) What is the velocity (vector) of the ball the instant beforeit hits the ground?
