< Question 9 of 20
Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a beach and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use, however,
is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the ground with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher, and knows that the fastest he can
throw the ball is to = 91.0 mph. Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball (with no way to measure the ball's initial trajectory)
and watches carefully. The ball rises and then falls, and after f₁ = 0.910 s, the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see
well enough to time when the ball hits the ground. Bob's friend then measures that the ball landed a distance of x = 332 ft from the
base of the cliff. How high up is Bob if the ball started from exactly 5 ft above the edge of the cliff?
