Answer:
The time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the baseball, u = 45 m/s
horizontal distance between the pitcher and the batter, X = 18.39 m
The horizontal distance or range of a projectile is given as;
X = ut
where;
t is the time of flight
u is the initial velocity
t = X / u
t = 18.39 / 45
t = 0.41 s
Therefore, the time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.
