In April of 1976, Chicago Cub slugger Dave Kingman hit a home run which cleared the Wrigley Field fence and hit a house located 530 feet (162 m) from home plate. Suppose that the 0.145-kg baseball left Kingman's bat at 92.7 m/s and that it lost 10% of its original energy on its flight through the air. Determine the speed of the ball when it cleared the stadium wall at a height of 25.6 m.

In April of 1976, Chicago Cub slugger Dave Kingman hit a home run which cleared the Wrigley Field fence and hit a house located 530 feet (162 m) from home plate. Suppose that the 0.146-kg baseball left Kingman's bat at 50.7 m/s and that it lost 10.6% of its original energy by the time it cleared the stadium wall at a height of 19.8 meters above the height at which the bat contacted the ball. Determine the speed of the ball as it passed above the wall.
by Bartleby ExpertWhat is the velocity as it passed the wall which was 19.8 meters above the height of the contacted bat?
