Suppose you have a bat swing speed of 110 feet per second and hit the ball at a 45 degree angle. The fence is 350 feet away and 10 feet height. Assume the batter hits the ball when it is 3 feet off of the ground. Would you hit a homerun if you kept the 120 feet per second speed but used a 40 degree angle (hit more of a line drive)? Would you hit a homerun if you kept the 120 feet per second speed but used a 50 degree angle (hit it higher in the air)?
