How does a baseball sink when it's thrown at 90 mph from 60 ft 6 in?
534824
60mph is 88 ft/sec; (memorize that).\nSo, 90mph is 132 ft/sec.\n\nIgnoring air friction (which DOES have an effect!), it takes 90/132 of a second for the ball to travel that far - or about .682 seconds.\n\nHow far does something drop in about 2/33 of a second? Several feet.

same as major league 90 feet

further than  it would go if he threw it at a 90 degree angle, which is twice the distance from the middle to the end

It helps the pitcher keep the ball down

For maybe a half a second. The ball will initially go as fast as the car, but, because the mass of the ball has so less mass in comparison to the car, it will quickly lose momentum and slow down and fall to the ground.

it depends on the stadium, that is if u are talking about mlb.  the infield is 60.5 from the pitchers mound to home plate, and 90 feet between bases.

Usually, u use ur index and middle finger and thumb to pick up the ball. Most pro pitchers lift their leg up before they pitch, and gain wait on the foot off the ground, to make the ball go faster. For a few people, this is hard, so dont rush. It is very important on how u release the ball to. There are a series of ways to make the ball curve, go faster, etc. all over the internet. I am not a baseball player, but I observe other baseball players. \nWish I could be more help. Tomatosoup98

It is HBP, and the ball is instantly dead. The count doesn't matter at the time. It's not a ball until the umpire calls it a ball, and he won't call it that because it hit the batter before it could get to the catcher.

When you throw a ball in the air it gradually gets slower until it starts falling back towards the Earth.  The faster you throw it the higher it goes.\n\nImagine now if you throw the ball fast enough that the Earth's gravity will not be able to slow it down enough before it escapes into deep space (outside our solar system).\n\nThis speed is the escape speed or escape velocity.\n\n---------------------------------------------------------\n\nMore accurately when you through a ball in the air you give it a certain amount of kinetic energy, as it gets higher this kinetic energy is being converted into gravitational potential energy (gravitiational potential energy is greater the higher you are).  The escape velocity is the velocity at which it has enough kinetic energy that you would have to take it an infinite distance away from Earth before it was all converted into gravitational potential energy.

Throwing harder is not usually accomplished by workout but by proper technique.  YOu do want to workout to establish a basic level of strength, stability, and agility. I highly recommend a good long toss regimen for this... But the biggest thing you can do to increase speed is perfect your technique.  Recent research shows that the stride is responsible for 80% of the speed of the pitch.  Based on that research to maximize velocity a pitcher needs to stride at 90% of height.  So a 6 foot tall pitcher should stride nearly 65" for maximum velocity.  72" X 90% = 64.8".\nThe next thing to look at is the actual throw with the arm.  Is the elbow above the shoulder and is the elbow leading the ball... does the arm get good whip action along with good snap of the wrist at release.  One common problem on velocity is holding the ball too tight and too deep in the hand.  For maximum velocity ball should be out in the fingers and held loosely.  The last compnent is to make sure you are getting good follow through on the pitch. I hope this gives yo some direction. GOOD LUCK!

a) Supposing that s0 = 0. We  have v0 = 32ft/sec\n=> s = -16t^2 + 32 t\n\nb)When t = 1, s=-16 + 32 = 16 ft above the ground\n\nc)When s = 0 again:\n0 = -16t^2 + 32 t\n=>t(-16t + 32) = 0\nThe equation is equal to zero when t=0 (the time the ball was thrown) and when t = 2 => The ball will hit the ground at t=2\n\nd)ds/dt = -32t + 32\nThis is equal to 0 when t=1\nat this point s = 16.

The angle is given. Horizontally means with an angle of 0 degrees elevation.\n\nYou can find how long the ball takes to travel 60 ft horizontally (60/147.84 seconds), so, knowing the acceleration due to gravity (which you will have been given), you can calculate how far it must fall in that time.\n\nt = 60/147.84 = 0.405844156\n\ndistance d covered by falling body in t seconds = ½gt²\n\ng = 32.174 ft/sec²\n\nd = 0.5 * 32.174 * 0.405844156 * 0.405844156 = 2.649681386 ft

I think you have left off part of the question. The speed of a ball is a vector. When you hit the ball, the vector points upward and forward. Gravity pulls the vector downward. Small forces (air friction, etc.) retard the total speed, but assume those can be ignored.\n\nAt some point, the pull of gravity will pull the vector to point down instead of up. That's the maximum height. The horizontal component of the speed vector should not change (given our assumptions). It still goes forward at the initial velocity. However, The vertical component is instantaenously at zero. In a moment, the ball will start to accelerate vertically and the vector will continue to pull down below the horizontal line becuase of the force of gravity.\n\nIf this were not true, the ball would reach maximum height and then just drop from the sky (0 overall velocity) which you know it does not do.\n\nSo of your choices, probably equal to initial or ever so slightly les than initial would be the best.\n\nThe same thing happens if you drop, say, a ball from 10 feet and fire a bullet from a height of 10 feet. The both hit the ground at the same time.The fact that the bullet is speeding horizontally doesn't affect gravity pulling on it vertically. (yeah small effects like curvature of the Earth, wind resistance, etc. being ignored).

First off whoever believes that baseball is harder because they've played it don't know what they're talking about.  They have to play BOTH sports to answer this question.  I have not.  I've only played fast pitch softball.  \n\nMy opinion though is that I think it varies in certain areas.  Yea, hitting a baseball at 90 mph would be harder than hitting something larger coming in at about 60 mph, but softball is a lot closer and the direction of where the pitch comes from is different.  The field is shorter in softball, but baseball does get harder, faster hits.  Also, softball is a quicker played game because of the field difference.  The plays have to clean, but same with baseball if they want to get the double play.  I think that both sports are great thought and I love it!

Down to the third baseman.  Usually goes 3rd to short to 2nd and back to third.  Every once in a while some teams throw to 1st, but it's pretty rare.  Usually third.

Jesus. Can we not use something a bit simpler than these weird pounds, mph etc?\n\nOK, 6 pounds is 2.75 kg, let's call it 3 kg. 60 feet is about 20 metres. it does it in 1.7 seconds. That's 12m/s \n\nSo ball Kinetic Energy is .5mv^2. So .5*3*12*12 = 216 Joules\n\nA baseball weighs about .15 kg. Swapping the formula round:\n\nv= sqrt(2*216/.15)= 60 m/s for the same energy. About 216 kph, or 134mph\n\nI think....

Built a trebuchet.  Use your cup to hold the weight (water).  The cup goes on one end of the ruler (throwing arm) and you will need a sling on the other end.  The sling holds the baseball.  You'll have to build a strong frame (more rulers) to hold the throwing arm up.  The frame has to be tall enough to allow the weighted cup to swing down without hitting the ground.  The throwing arm should pivot on the frame.  The pivot point should be closer to the weighted end to produce more thrust.  The length of the sling affects how far and how high the ball will go.  One end of the sling must be firmly attached to the long end of the arm.  The other end must be able to slip off of a smooth nail (also attached to the long end of the throwing arm) that has a small or non-existent head.  The angle of this nail affects the height and distance your ball will be thrown too.\n\nWhen cocked, the weight is up and the tip of the arm is down.  The sling holding the ball is tucked under the throwing arm.  The end of the throwing arm is held down.  When the arm is released, the weight swings down, drawing the throwing arm up, dragging the sling and baseball behind it.  The sling slips off of the smooth nail, releasing the ball.
