a baseball player hits a foul ball straight up into the air. it leaves the bat with a speed of 120km/h. in the absence of air resistance, how fast will the ball be traveling when the catcher catcher it
Added by Princess R.
Step 1
Convert the initial speed from km/h to m/s: 120 km/h * (1000 m/km) * (1 h/3600 s) = 33.33 m/s Show more…

A batter hits a pop-up straight up over home plate at an initial velocity of $20 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. The ball is caught by the catcher at the same height that it was hit. At what velocity does the ball land in the catcher's mitt? Neglect air resistance.

Relative Velocity
A batter hits a pop-up straight up in the air from a height of $1.397 \mathrm{~m}$. The baseball rises to a height of $7.653 \mathrm{~m}$ above the ground. Ignoring air resistance, what is the speed of the baseball when the catcher gloves it $1.757 \mathrm{~m}$ above the ground?
When a ballplayer throws a ball straight up, by how much does the speed of the ball decrease each second while ascending? In the absence of air resistance, by how much does the speed increase each second while descending? What is the time required for rising compared to falling?
