A baseball hit just above the ground leaves the bat at 24 m/s at 45 degrees above the horizontal. How far away does the ball strike the ground? Can you visually show the above. It has to do with right angles and trigonometric functions, but I need your explanation to understand how this works, as I am new to this.
Show that for eccentricity equal to one in Equation 13.10 for conic sections, the path is a parabola. Do this by substituting Cartersian coordinates, x and y, for the polar coordinates, r and , and showing that it has the general form for a parabola, x=ay2+by+c .
Calculate the effective gravitational field vector g at Earths surface at the poles and the equator. Take account of the difference in the equatorial (6378 km) and polar (6357 km) radius as well as the centrifugal force. How well does the result agree with the difference calculated with the result g = 9.780356[1 + 0.0052885 sin 2 0.0000059 sin2(2)]m/s2 where is the latitude?

Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?
