document.write( "Question 1191880: A) A baseball is hit 7 feet above the ground with an initial speed of 145ft/sec at an angle of 19 degrees. How far up a wall does it hit if the wall is 30 feet high and 400 feet away?
\n" ); document.write( "B). Suppose a HORIZONTAL wind is blowing in the same direction as the ball when the ball is hit. How strong does the wind need to be (in feet/sec) so that the ball hits the top of the wall on its way down?
