Question

Example 5.1. In Fig. 5.3, at the North Pole, the pitcher throws a standard baseball (0.32 lbm) at a speed of 90 mi/h (132 ft/s). The distance thrown (pitcher's mound to home plate) is 60 ft. The ball is thrown directly at the catcher. From the viewpoint of an observer on a nonrotating space station, how far does the catcher move to the left while the ball is in flight?
