Question

A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 10 m high, located 116 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 37° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. (Assume that the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.)

(a) Find the initial speed of the ball.
 m/s

(b) Find the time it takes the ball to reach the wall.
 s

(c) Find the velocity components of the ball when it reaches the wall.
