I have to say, Physics has been going well for me. But he assigned a problem in preparation for a test. Well needless to say, I am not sure where to begin! I was hoping somebody could at least point me in the right direction. A baseball is hit for a home run, it travels 138m. It just clears a 6.5m wall when it lands, where it is caught by a lucky fan. So the ball essentially starts off at point (0,0), and ends at (138,6.5). It is hit at a 40 degree angle. Calculate initial velocity and total flight time. I know it must be possible. Because only at one velocity at 40degrees will the ball actually go 138m. Like if it was hit at 1m/s, obviously it would not go the full 138. It's finding this balance point. My thought was to first find velocity, THEN find time. If only i knew how I've got a few ideas brewing upstairs, but ugh.
