1st throw
y = [(-9.8) x t^2] / 2 + V x sin (theta) x t
y = 0 at t = 0 and t = ?
theta = 49.8 deg
V x sin(49.8) x t - (4.9) x t^2 = 0
t[V x sin(49.8) - (4.9) x t] = 0
V x sin(49.8) - (4.9) x t = 0
V x sin(49.8) = (4.9) x t
t = V x sin(49.8) / (4.9)
X1 = Distance of 1st throw
X1 = V x...
Homework Statement
When baseball outfielders throw the ball, they usually allow it to take one bounce on the theory that the ball arrives sooner this way. Suppose that after the bounce the ball rebounds at the same angle as it had when released but loses half its speed.
1) Assuming the...
