Question

One of the fastest recorded pitches in major-league baseball, thrown by Tim Lincecum in 2009, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h. If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this velocity, how far would the ball fall vertically by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft away?

Expert Solution

Step 1

1 mi = 5280 ft

1 h = 3600 sec

Given

Initial velocity u_x= 101 mi/h

= 101×5280/3600

=148.13 ft/s

u_y=0

Sx = 60.5 ft

Motion of projectile can be divided into x component and y component.

a_x= 0

ay = -31.17 ft/s2
