This statement is true. The point located at the geometric center of an object is indeed called the object's center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average of the weight of a resultant of the parallel forces, including all the particles that is passing through its body.
It is simply called Entropy.
Path 2.
Displacement is the direction and magnitude of an object from its starting point, so path 2 is the direct route you would need to take to find direction and magnitude.
Answer: 211.059 m
Explanation:
We have the following data:
The angle at which the ball leaves the bat
The initial velocity of the ball
The acceleration due gravity
We need to find how far (horizontally) the ball travels in the air: 
Firstly we need to know this velocity has two components:
<u>Horizontally:</u>
(1)
(2)
<u>Vertically:</u>
(3)
(4)
On the other hand, when we talk about parabolic movement (as in this situation) the ball reaches its maximum height just in the middle of this parabola, when
and the time
is half the time it takes the complete parabolic path.
So, if we use the following equation, we will find
:
(5)
Isolating
:
(6)
(7)
(8)
Now that we have the time it takes to the ball to travel half of is path, we can find the total time
it takes the complete parabolic path, which is twice
:
(9)
With this result in mind, we can finally calculate how far the ball travels in the air:
(10)
Substituting (2) and (9) in (10):
(11)
Finally:
