Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The speed with which the fastball is hit, u = 49.1 m/s (109.9 mph)
The angle in which the fastball is hit, θ = 22°
The distance of the field = 96 m (315 ft)
The range of the projectile motion of the fastball is given by the following formula
Where;
g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s², we have;
Yes, given that the ball's range is larger than the extent of the field, the batter is able to safely reach home.
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s
time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds
Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)
Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²
