A player hits a baseball, which has an initial velocity of 42 m/s. At the moment the ball is hit with the bat, the height of the baseball will be 0.22 m. The distance from the point of contact to the wall is 170 m. The baseball has an angle of 40 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The player will get a home run, if he or she hits the baseball pass the wall. The height of the wall is 6m. \\ a) Will the player get a homerun? if so, the by how much does the baseball clear the wall? b) Now assume that the wall is completely removed. Find the horizontal range and maximum height of the baseball. Also assume that the path of the baseball is symmetrical, so it lands at a location that is 0.22 m above the ground.
