Question

George is able to swing a baseball bat (0.32 lb) initially travelling at 90mph in the negative direction. and hit it about L=350ft. this contact lasts 0.7ms and the bat imparts a constant force on the ball equal to F=3400i+725j [lb]. if George decides to cheat and put pine tar on his barrel, the contact time will increase to 0.75ms. Assuming he hits the exact same pitch with the exact same force, how far can he hit the ball now? (Neglect the change in height between when the ball is hit and when it lands. No calculations are needed for the impact lasting 0.7ms use g=32.2ft/s^2)

Explanation / Answer

along horizontal


Fx = 3400 lb          Fy = 725 lb


Fx = m*v1x/t1         Fy = m*v1y/t1


v1x = Fx*t1/m        v1y = Fy*t1/m


L1 = 2*v1x*v1y/g = 2*Fx*Fy*t1^2/gm^2


for time t2


Fx = 3400 lb          Fy = 725 lb


Fx = m*v2x/t2         Fy = m*v2y/t2


v2x = Fx*t2/m        v2y = Fy*t2/m


L2 = 2*v2x*v2y/g = 2*Fx*Fy*t2^2/gm^2


L2/L1 = (t2/t1)^2

L2 = 350*(0.75/0.7)^2


L2 = 402 ft
