Question

A baseball is hit when it is 3 ft above the ground. It leaves the bat with initial velocity of 181 ft/sec at a launch angle of 18-degrees. At the instant the ball is hit, an instantaneous gust of wind blows against the ball, adding a component of -15i (ft/sec) to the ball's initial velocity. A 8 ft. high fence lies 375 ft from home plate in the direction of the flight. The acceleration due to gravity is g=32 ft/sec^2.

### Problem Analysis

#### Question c
- **Objective**: Determine the range and flight time of the baseball when it is not caught.
- **Instructions**: 
  - Fill in the values for the range in feet and the flight time in seconds.
  - Round answers to two decimal places as necessary.

#### Question d
- **Objective**: Find the time and ground distance when the baseball reaches a height of 4 feet.
- **Instructions**: 
  - Determine the time(s) when the baseball is 4 feet high.
  - Calculate how far the baseball is from home plate at that height.
  - Provide answers in ascending order and round to two decimal places as needed.

#### Question e
- **Objective**: Evaluate if the batter has hit a home run.
- **Options**:
  - **A**: No, because the ball does not reach the wall.
  - **B**: Yes, because the ball goes over the wall.
  - **C**: No, because the ball hits the wall.

**Note**: Ensure to explain your choice for question e based on the flight data and range of the baseball.
