A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of vo= 108 ft/sec directly toward fielder B at an angle of 30° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.2 ft above ground level. Fielder B requires 0.37 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the "catch position" simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 7.9 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made. VO 130° 2.2¹ Answer: VA/B = ( i 249' i + i j) ft/sec

A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of vo - 128 ft/secdirectly toward fielder B at an angle of 21° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.4 ft above ground level. Fielder Brequires 0.35 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the "catch position" simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 7.7 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made. 121 2.4' 275' Answer: VA/B- i+ i j) ft/sec

After starting from the position marked with the "x", a football receiver B runs the slant-in pattern shown, making a cut at P and thereafter running with a constant speed vg = 6.7 yd/sec in the direction shown. The quarterback releases the ball with a horizontal velocity of 101 ft/sec at the instant the receiver passes point P. Determine the angle a at which the quarterback must throw the ball, and the velocity vA/B of the ball relative to the receiver when the ball is caught. Neglect any vertical motion of the ball. 16 yd- B 35 13 yd UB Va
