The left fielder throws the baseball home from 60 m away. The ball's horizontal velocity is 30 m/s, and its vertical velocity is sufficient to keep it in the air until it reaches the catcher at home plate. At the same time, a base runner is running toward home plate. His velocity is 5 m/s, and he is 5 m from home plate. If the base runner's velocity stays constant and air resistance isn't a factor, which will arrive at home plate first, the base runner or the baseball and why? Possible formulas: v=d/t a=v/t
