Question
During a baseball game, a batter hits a high
pop-up.
If the ball remains in the air for 5.93 s, how
high above the point where it hits the bat
does it rise? Assume when it hits the ground
it hits at exactly the level of the bat. The
acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s
2. Answer in units of m.

Answer: 43.01 m
Explanation:
Given that :
Time ball uses in the air = 5.93, time it takes to reach maximum height and return = time of flight(T) = 5.93 s
TIME of flight (T) = 2 * time taken(t)
Where g = a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
S = 0.5at²
S = maximum height
Tjme taken (t) = time of flight / 2 = 5.93/2 = 2.965 s
Hence,
S = 0.5at²
S = 2 × 0.5 × 9.8 × 2.965²
S = 43.0770025
S = 43.01 m
