The ball traveled 188 m (618 ft) before landing on the ground outside the ballpark, (a) If the ball’s initial velocity was in a direction 45° above the horizontal, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run if the ball was hit at a point 0.9 m (3.0 ft) above ground level? Ignore air resistance, and assume that the ground was perfectly flat, (b) How far would the ball be above a fence 3.0 m (10 ft) high if the fence was 116 m (380 ft) from home plate?

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest home run ever measured was hit by Roy "Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor-league game. The ball traveled 188 m (618 ft ) before landing on the ground outside the ballpark. Assuming that the ball's initial velocity was 45∘ above the horizontal, and ignoring air resistance, what did the initial speed of the ball need to be to produce such a home run if the ball was hit at a point 1.0 m (3.3 ft ) above ground level? Assume that the ground was perfectly flat.
A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal.
Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components.
