Consider a baseball player who wants to catch the fly ball in Problem 26(b). Estimate the force exerted by the ball on the player’s glove as the ball is coming to rest. Hint: You will have to estimate the acceleration of the ball, and to do so it is useful to estimate the distance the ball travels while coming to rest in the glove. The mass of a baseball is 0.14 kg.

(reference problem 26)

A batted baseball is hit with a speed of 45 m/s starting from an initial height of 1 m. Find how high the ball travels in two cases: (a) a ball hit directly upward and (b) a ball hit at an angle of 70° with respect to the horizontal. Also find how long the ball stays in the air in each case.
