AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on the baseball at two different points in its trajectory: when it reaches half its maximum height and when it reaches its peak. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Baseball**: The only force acting on the baseball, when air resistance is neglected, is the gravitational force. This force can be expressed as: \[ F_g = m \cdot g ...
