A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 42. 5 m/s (about 95 mi/h). Before being caught, the baseball travels a horizontal distance of 16. 5 m and rotates through an angle of 49. 0 rad. The baseball has a radius of 3. 67 cm and is rotating about an axis as it travels, much like the earth does. What is the tangential speed of a point on the "equator" of the baseball?.
