A ballplayer standing at home plate hits a baseball that is caught by another player at the same height above the ground from wh
ich it was hit. The ball is hit with an initial velocity of 32.1 m/s at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. How high will the ball rise than where it was hit?
The distance travelled by a plane from one point to another is the shortest distance between the two points. This distance travelled is usually a straight line path from point 1 to point 2.
Since the plane ends up 220 km farther east and 100.0 km farther north, the direction of flight for the plane is in the North-East direction.
Let x represent the distance travelled by the plane. Hence:
