A batter hits a baseball 1.0 meter above the ground at a 25° angle and an initial velocity of 45 m/s. Assume no air resistance. a. What is the ball’s height above the field and distance from home plate 1.0 seconds and 2.0 seconds after it was hit?

b. What is the ball’s velocity at 1.0 seconds and 2.0 seconds? Velocity is a vector quantity and you must determine the magnitude and direction of the ball.

c. The center field fence is 125 meters away and 3.0 meters high. Did the batter hit a homerun? Show your calculations. Assume the center fielder cannot catch the ball. (Get time in x-direction!)
