Question

A baseball pitcher throws at 95 mile/hr at a hitter 60 feet 6 inches away. How long does it take for the baseball to reach the hitter?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.43 s

Explanation:

speed (s) = 95 mi/h = 95 x 1600/3600 = 42.5 m/s  (converting to m/s)

distance (d) = 60 ft 6 inches = (60 x 0.3048) + (6 x 0.025) = 18.44 m (converting to meters)

speed = distance / time

time = distance / speed = 18.44 / 42.5 = 0.43 s
