(a) To determine The vector equation for path of baseball. Explanation From Example 5, the initial velocity is υ 0 = 152 ft/sec , the launch angle is α = 20 ° . Also a component of − 8.8 i ft/sec is added to the initial velocity and assume a drag coefficient k = 0.12 . Then using the linear drag from Exercise 41, obtain the distance downrange as follows. x = υ 0 k ( 1 − e − k t ) cos α = 152 0.12 ( 1 − e − 0.12 t ) cos 20 ° Obtain the height of the projectile as shown below. y = 3 + υ 0 k ( 1 − e − k t ) ( sin α ) + g k 2 ( 1 − k t − e − k t ) = 3 + 152 0.12 ( 1 − e − 0.12 t ) ( sin 20 ° ) + 32 ( 0.12 ) 2 ( 1 − 0.12 t − e − 0.12 t ) Obtain the vector equation for path of the baseball as follows. r = x i + y j = { ( 152 0.12 ( 1 − e − 0 (b) To determine The maximum height reached by baseball and the time it reaches the maximum height. (c) To determine The flight time and range of the baseball. (d) To determine The time when the baseball is at 30 ft height and the distance downrange at that height. (e) To determine To explain: Whether the batter hit a home run or not.
