Question

You throw a baseball at an angle of 30.0∘∘ above the horizontal. It reaches the highest point of its trajectory 1.05 ss later. At what speed does the baseball leave your hand?

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed with which the baseball leaves the hand = 20.58 m/s

Explanation:

The time take to reach highest height during a projectile's flight is given by

t = (u sin θ)/g

u = initial velocity of the baseball = ?

θ = angle of throw above the horizontal

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

1.05 = (u sin 30)/9.8

u = (1.05 × 9.8)/0.5

u = 20.58 m/s
