The distance between home plate and the pitcher's mound in baseball is 60.5 ft. In MLB, baseballs are. pitched at about 90mph. Assume the ball is thrown perfectly horizontally, at 0°. How far in feet will the ball drop during its transit to home plate? Use g = 32 ft/s². (Note: this is why pitcher's mounds are raised.) 2. A pebble is tossed into the air at an angle of 62° above the horizontal, with an initial speed of 4.8 m/s. The pebble is 1.6m above the ground when it is released by the thrower's hand. a) How long will the pebble remain airborne? b) What maximum height above the ground will the pebble achieve?arrow_forwardMake a prediction regarding what launch angle will produce the maximum horizontal range for a projectile launched from level ground and landing back on level ground.

O The acceleration vector is perpendicular to the trajectory and the velocity vector is at a tangent to it. O The acceleration changes throughout the flight with its x-component opposite the direction of motion. The velocity vector is at a tangent to the trajectory O The acceleration vector is constant and points straight down. The velocity vector is at a tangent to the trajectory O The acceleration and velocity vectors are both constant magnitude but continually change direction.arrow_forward
