a foul ball is hit into the stands at a baseball game. the ball rises to a height of 38 meters and is caught on its way down by a fan standing in the bleaches 30 meters above the height at which it was hit

Respuesta :

The velocity of the ball when it was caught is 12.52 m/s.

"Your question is not complete it seems to be missing the following, information",

find the velocity of the ball when it was caught.

The given parameters;

maximum height above the ground reached by the ball, H = 38 m

height above the ground where the ball was caught, h = 30 m

The height traveled by the ball when it was caught is calculated as follows;

y = H - h

y = 38 - 30 = 8 m

The velocity of the ball when it was caught is calculated as;

[tex]v_f^2 = v_0 + 2gh\\\\v_f^2 = 0 + (2\times 9.8 \times 8)\\\\v_f^2 = 156.8\\\\v_f = \sqrt{156.8} \\\\v_f = 12.52 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the velocity of the ball when it was caught is 12.52 m/s.
