Explanation:
It is given that,
The distance from the pitcher's mound to the batter is 43 feet, d = 43 feet = 0.00814 miles
Speed with which ball leaves the ball, v = 110 mph
Let t is the time elapses between the hit and the ball reaching the pitcher. It is given by :
t = 0.000074 hours
or
t = 0.2664 seconds
So, the time between the hit and the ball reaching the pitcher is 0.2664 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
