Question
A major leaguer hits a baseball so that it leaves the bat at a speed of 29.0
m/s and at an angle of 36.9?above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance.
A) At what two times is the baseball at a height of 8.50m above the point at which it left the bat?
B) Calculate the horizontal component of the baseball's velocity at each of the two times you found in part (a).
C) Calculate the vertical component of the baseball's velocity at each of the two times you found in part (a).
D) What is the magnitude of the baseball's velocity when it returns to the level at which it left the bat?
E) What is the direction of the baseball's velocity when it returns to the level at which it left the bat?

Calculate the horizontal component of the baseball's velocity at each of the two times you found in part (a). Calculate the vertical component of the baseball's velocity at each of the two times you found in part (a). What is the magnitude of the baseball's velocity when it returns to the level at which it left the bat? What is the direction of the baseball's velocity when it returns to the level at which it left the bat?Explanation / Answer
A) H = ut+ at^2/2
8.50 = 29sin36.9 x t -9.8t^2/2
4.9t^2 - 17.41t + 8.50 = 0
solving this quadratic eqtn,
t = 0.584 s and 2.97 sec
b) horizontal component of velocity is always same = 29cos36.9 = 23.19 m/s
c) v = 29sin36.9 -gt
v(0.584) = 11.69 m/s
v(2.97) = - 11.69 m/s ( - sign means downwards)
d) same as u = v = 29 m/s
e) direction will be just opposite = 36.9 degrees below horizontal
