Consider again the game of baseball. A pitcher throws a pitch to the catcher with a speed of 100 mi/h, releasing the ball from approximately shoulder height. At what angle with respect to the horizontal (x) should he throw the ball so that it crosses the plate waist high for the batter? The distance from the pitcher to the catcher is 60.5 feet. Ignore air drag. Hint: Assume the angle is small so that the horizontal component of the velocity is approximately equal to the speed.
