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. a. Find the range and flight time of the baseball assuming the ball is not caught. Please keep your answer in
