Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinematics of Particles: Problem 2_65

2/65 An outfielder experiments with two different trajectories for throwing to home plate from the position shown: (a) \(v_0 = 42\text{ m/s}\) with \(\theta = 8^\circ\) and (b) \(v_0 = 36\text{ m/s}\) with \(\theta = 12^\circ\). For each set of initial conditions, determine the time \(t\) required for the baseball to reach home plate and the altitude \(h\) as the ball crosses the plate.
