Question

A baseball leaves a bat with a horizontal velocity of 20.0 m/s. When it has left the bat for a time of 0.250 s (Assume air resistance is negligible). How far will it have moved horizontally?

Answer 1

The distance is 5 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal velocity = 20.0 m/s

Time t = 0.250 s

We need to calculate the horizontal distance

The distance traveled by the baseball with horizontal velocity in time t is given by

Using formula for horizontal distance

`d = v* t`

`d = 20.0*0.250`

`d=5\ m`

Hence, The distance is 5 m.
