Baseball home run. A slugger hits a ball. The speed of the ball as it leaves the bat is v0 = 100 mi/hr = 147 ft/s. Suppose the direction of the initial velocity is 45 degrees above the horizontal, and the initial height is 3 ft. The acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft/s^2. (A) When precisely will the ball hit the ground? (B) Where precisely will the ball hit the ground? (C) We have neglected air resistance. Is that a good approximation? Justify your answer.
