Question

A major league pitcher throws the ball at a speed of 97.5 ft/s. How high would the ball go if thrown straight up? Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

The initial speed of the ball is $97.5 ft / s$ .

Introduction:

When a body is thrown against gravity, the only force acting upon the body is gravity when the air resistance is neglected.
