 Speed of a Softball
Learning Goal: To be able to calculate the velocity and the angle of trajectory of an object undergoing projectile motion. A batter hits a softball over a third baseman's head with speed \texttip{v_{\rm 0}}{v_0} and at an angle \texttip{\theta }{theta} from the horizontal. Immediately after the ball is hit, the third baseman turns and runs at a constant velocity v = 7.000 \;{\rm m/s}, for a time t =2.000 \;{\rm s}. He then catches the ball at the same height at which it left the bat. The third baseman was initially l =18.00 \; {\rm m} from home plate (the location where the ball was hit from).

Part A - Initial velocity of the softball

Find \texttip{v_{\rm 0}}{v_0}. Use g=9.807 \;{\rm m}/{\rm s}^2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Assume that there is no air resistance. Express the initial speed to four significant figures in meters per second.

Hint 1. How to approach the problem

To find the initial velocity \texttip{v_{\rm 0}}{v_0}, calculate the horizontal, \texttip{v_{0x}}{v_{0x}}, and vertical, \texttip{v_{0y}}{v_{0y}}, components of the initial velocity. You can find the initial velocity using the following relationship: v_0 = \sqrt {v^2_{0x} + v^2_{0y}}

Hint 2. Find the initial velocity of the softball in the x direction

Because we have assumed that there is no air resistance, the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant and can be found from the distance covered by the ball and the time in which such distance is covered. What is v_{0x}? Express your answer in terms of \texttip{l}{l}, \texttip{v}{v}, and \texttip{t}{t}.

Hint 1. Determine the distance traveled in the x direction

After being hit, the ball reaches the third basemans original location and moves beyond it. What is the distance \texttip{x}{x} the ball travels horizontally before it is caught? Express your answer in terms of \texttip{l}{l}, \texttip{v}{v}, and \texttip{t}{t}. ANSWER:
Processing math: 0%

\texttip{x}{x} = l+v t

ANSWER: v_{0x} = \large{\frac{l+v t}{t}}

Hint 3. Find the initial velocity of the softball in the y direction

Using the kinematic equation in the y direction, \large{y(t)=y_0+v_{y0}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}} find an expression for v_{0y}. Recall that the balls final height equals the balls initial height. Express your answer in terms of \texttip{g}{g} and \texttip{t}{t}. ANSWER: v_{0y} = \large{\frac{1}{2} g t}

ANSWER: v_{0} = 18.77 \rm m/s

Correct

Part B - Angle of trajectory

Find the angle \texttip{\theta }{theta} in degrees. Express your answer numerically to four significant figures in degrees. ANSWER: \texttip{\theta }{theta} = 31.51 \rm degrees

Find the components \texttip{v_{\mit x}}{v_x} and \texttip{v_{\mit y}}{v_y} of the balls velocity, \texttip{{\bf v}}{v_evec}, 0.100 \rm s before the ball is caught. Express your answers for \texttip{v_{\mit x}}{v_x} and \texttip{v_{\mit y}}{v_y} numerically to three significant figures in meters per second, separated by a comma.
