Question

Amir pitched a baseball at an initial height of 5.9 feet with a velocity of 73.16 feet per second. About how long will it take the ball Amir pitched to hit the ground?
4.66 secs
2.94 secs
2.35 secs
1.47 secs

Answer 1

If it is pitched horizontally all that matters is the initial height. Find the time for a ball to fall 5.9 feet from rest.

Answer 2

unless there is an angle you need to include

Answer 3

free fall:

-5.9=0-16t^2
sqrt(5.9/16)=t
t= .607 seconds

Answer 4

so there is an angle missing since this answer is not up there I think
