Question

A baseball is hit when it is 3 ft above the ground. It leaves the bat with initial velocity of 181 ft/sec at a launch angle of 18-degrees. At the instant the ball is hit, an instantaneous gust of wind blows against the ball, adding a component of -15i (ft/sec) to the ball's initial velocity. A 8 ft. high fence lies 375 ft from home plate in the direction of the flight. The acceleration due to gravity is g=32 ft/sec^2. 

Please see the attached image for questions:

c. Find the range and flight time of the baseball, assuming the ball is not caught. The range is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) feet, and the flight time is seconds. d. When is the baseball 4 ft high? How far (ground distance) is the baseball from home plate at that height? The baseball is 4 ft high after (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) seconds and seconds. The baseball is feet or feet from home plate when it is 4 ft high. (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) e. Has the batter hit a home run? Explain. O A. No because the ball does not reach the wall. O B. Yes because the ball goes over the wall. C. No because the ball hits the wall.
