One of the fastest recorded pitches in major league baseball, thrown by Tim Lincecum in 2009, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h (Fig. P3.8). If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this veloc- ity, how far would the ball fall vertically by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft away? GIA NT Figure P3.8 Tim Lincecum throws a baseball.
