Hello all, I am a second semester mechanical engineering student looking to get a jump start on the semester. I'm taking General Physics one and I'm a little concerned about it. I have almost no experience with Physics, except for an introductory engineering class last semester where we touched...

I'm in Calc one now. We haven't discussed anti-derivatives, and this problem is from an intro algebra-based physics class. I don't think my teacher wants us to use Calculus.

It would be zero right? The ball isn't moving anymore because of the energy imparted to it by the bat at the highest point of its trajectory.

Homework Statement During the World Series a ball is hit straight up from the batter’s box and reaches a height of 295 ft. Neglecting air friction, what speed (mph) will the baseball attain if it is caught by the catcher at the same height it was hit? Homework Equations The equation I pull...

I have this same problem and I've tried a few things but I can't get it either. Should I make another post or show my work here?

Hello, I'm Gregory. I'm an engineering student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I'm hoping to give/get help where ever I can and and learn a bit about physics just for fun.
