Question

How far does a baseball that is thrown horizontally at 42.5 m/s drop over a horizontal distance of 18.4 m?

Answer 1

`0.92"m"`

Explanation:

The horizontal component of its velocity is constant so:

`t=s/v`

`:.t=18.4/42.5=0.433"s"`

For the vertical component:

`s=1/2"g"t^2=0.5xx9.8xx0.433^2=0.92"m"`
