13.An outfielder throws a baseball at a speed of 110 ft/sat an angle of 25.0_ above the horizontal to homeplate 290 ft away. Will the ball reach the catcher onthe fly or will it bounce first?

We will have the following:


Range=(v^2_i\sin (2\theta))/(g)


R=((110ft/s)^2\sin(2(25)))/((32.17ft/s^2))\Rightarrow R=288.1298651\ldots ft

From this, we can see that the ball will bounce first.
