Question

13. A ball is thrown horizontally by a pitcher at 25.0 m/s from shoulder height (2.0m). If the catcher is 20.0 m away, will the ball reach the catcher before bouncing?​

Answer 1

The ball will NOT reach the catcher before bouncing

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (vertical vi)t + (1/2)gt²

2 = 0 + (1/2)(9.8)t²

t = 0.64 s

x = (horizontal vi)t + (1/2)at²

x = (25)(0.64) + 0

x = 16 m

16 m < 20 m

The ball will bounce at 16 m
