Question
A pitcher throws a baseball horizontally with a speed of 90 mph from a height of 6 ft. If the batter is 60 ft away,
determine the time needed for the ball to arrive at the batter and the height H at which it passes the batter.
6 ft
60 ft
Given: V = 90 mph = 132 ft/s
Vjo =0
YA =6 ft
X3 = 60 ft
Find: H, ts
