a baseball is hit at a height h = 1.00 m and then caught at the same height. It travels alongside a wall, moving up past the top of the wall 1.00 s after it is hit and then down past the top of the wall 4.00 s later, at distance D = 50.0 m farther along the wall.

(d) How high is the wall?
A squirrel is launched due west from a height of 10 meters with an initial velocity of 80 meters per second atan angle of 60 degrees above horizontal. A strong wind blowing directly out of the north causes the squirrel toaccelerate south at a rate of 2 m/s^2. All of this takes place in my backyard where acceleration due to gravity is 7 m/s2 (a) With the positive y–axis oriented north, the positive x–axis oriented east, and the positive z–axis up into the sky, findthe vector equation for the path of the squirrel. (b) Find the time when the squirrel is at her maximum height.
