Question 1146348
A major-league pitcher can throw a ball in excess of 35.8 m/s.
 If a ball is thrown horizontally at this speed, how much will it drop by the time it reaches a catcher who is 17.0 m away from the point of release?
:
Find the time that it takes for the ball to travel 17 meters at 35.8 m/s
t = {{{17/35.8}}}
t = .47486 secs
:
Find how far gravity will drop the ball in .47486 sec
d = 4.9(.47486^2)
d = 1.1 meter drop
