During a baseball game, a baseball is struck, at ground level, by a batter. The ball leaves the baseball bat with an initial speed of v0=46.7m/s at an angle θ=21.5∘ above the horizontal. Let the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system be the ball's position the instant it leaves the bat. Ignore air resistance throughout this problem. Calculate the horizontal distance, xmax, in meters, that the ball has traveled when it returns to ground level.
