Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 17PCE

Playing shortstop, you pick up a ground ball and throw it to second base. The ball is thrown horizontally, with a speed of 18 m/s, directly toward point A (Figure 4-19). When the ball reaches the second baseman 0.54 s later, it is caught at point B. (a) How far were you from the second baseman? (b) What is the distance of vertical drop, AB?

Students have asked these similar questions

b) What total horizontal distance does the ball travel? c) What is the angle (below the horizontal) of the ball's velocity just before it hits the ground?

For all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible, unless stated otherwise in the question. A ball is launched from ground level at an angle of 60˚ and with a speed of 15 m/s. a)What is the maximum height the ball will reach? b)How far horizontally will the ball travel before returning to ground level?

The maximum horizontal distance a boy can throw a ball is 50 m. Assume he can throw with the same initial speed at all angles. How high does he throw the ball when he throws it straight upward?
