All he has to use is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the ground below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher and knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is about ?0=34.1 m/s.v0=34.1 m/s. 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 ?1=0.910 st1=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 hit the ground ?=123 mx=123 m from the base of the cliff. How high above the beach was the ball when it was thrown?arrow_forwardPls help and show all steps ASAP ASAP ASAP ASAParrow_forward
