Question

A batter hits a pop up straight up over home plate at a initial velocity of 25m/s. The ball is caught at the same height that it was hit. At what velocity does the ball land in the catchers mitt? Neglect air resistance (take positive direction upwards)

Answer 1

-25 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ball was caught at the same height, it has the same speed and opposite direction that it went up with.
