A baseball pitcher throws a fastball at 89 miles per hour. if the the distance
from the pitchers mound to home plate is 60.5 feet how long in seconds will it
take the ball to reach home plate?
:
find velocity of the ball in ft/sec
V = %2889%2A5280%29%2F3600
V = 130.533 ft/sec
Find time to travel 60.5 ft
t = 60.5%2F130.533
v ~ .4635 sec
