A baseball leaves the bat of Henry Aaron with a speed of 34 m/s at an angle of 370 above the horizontal. The ball is 1.2 m off the ground when it leaves the bat. To be a home run, the ball must clear a fence that is 3.0 m high and 106 m from the batter. (a.) At what times after being hit will it reach the height of the fence? (b.) How far from the batter will the ball be at these times? (c.) Will Henry have a home run? Explain.

Consider a projectile launched form ground level at an angle of elevation with an initial velocity . The maximum horizontal range is given by xmax=(v 2/0 sin2θ)/g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Here is the problem: If a soccer ball is kicked from ground level with an initial velocity of 28 m/sec, what is the smallest positive angle at which the player should kick the ball to reach a teammate 48m down the field? Assume that the ball reaches the teammate at ground level on the fly. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.
