A baseball slugger smacks a pitch and watches the ball drift into the bleachers for a home run, landing h=8.6 m higher than it was hit. When visiting with the fan that caught the ball, he learned the ball was moving with final velocity vf=32 m/s at an angle θf=28∘ below the horizontal when caught. Assume the ball encountered no air resistance, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin located at the ball's initial position.
A) Create an expression for the ball's initial horizontal velocity v0,x in terms of the variables given in the problem statement.
B) Calculate the magnitude in meters per second of the vertical component of the balls initial velocity
C) Calculate the magnitude in meters per second of the balls initial velocity
D) Find the angle above the horizontal in degrees at which the ball left the bat.
