Chapter 1, Problem 7P
A pitcher has the ability to throw a baseball at 95 mph.
- How fast is the speed in ft/s?
- How long does the hitter have to make a decision about swinging at the hell if the plate and the mound are separated by 60 ft?
- If the batter wanted a full second to make a decision, what would the speed in mph have to be?
