A player hits a baseball at some angle. The bal goes high up in space. The player runs and cathces the ball before it hits the ground. Which of the two (the player or the ball) has greater displacement?

A player kicks up a ball at an angle theta to the horizontal. The horizontal range is maximum when theta equals-

Baseball player A strikes the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 1.9 m/s parallel to the ground. Upon contact with the bat the ball is 1.2 m above the ground. Player B wishes to duplicate this strike, in so far as he also wants to give the ball a velocity parallel to the ground and have his ball travel the same horizontal distance as player A's ball does. However, player B hits the ball when it is 1.5 m above the ground. What is the magnitude of the initial velocity that player B's ball must be given?

A boy throws a ball with a velocity u at an angle theta with the horizontal. At the same instant he starts running with uniform velocity to catch the ball before it hits the ground. To achieve this he should run with a velocity of

Suppose a player hits several baseballs. Which baseball will be in the air for the longest time ?

A batter hits a pitched ball when the centre of the ball is 1.22 m above the ground. The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 45^(@) with the ground. With that launch, the ball should have a horizontal range (returning to the launch level) of 107 m. (a) Does the ball clear a 7.32-m-high fence that is 9.75 m horizontally from the launch point? (b) At the fence, what is the distance between the fence top and the ball center?

A base ball player has a nightmare. He is accidentally locked in a railroad boxcar. Fortunately, he has his ball and bat along. To start the car moving, he stands at one end bats the ball towards the other end. The impulse exerted by the ball as it hits the end wall, gives the car a forward motion. Sice the ball always rebounds and rolls along the floor back to him, the player repeats this process over and over. Eventually the car attains a very high speed, and the player is killed as the boxcar collides with another car sitting at rest on the track. Analyze this dream and the physics concepts involved in it.

A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situatted at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middlefilngers and making the throw. If he projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed shold it be projected so that it directly hits the stationary goli without falling on the ground earlier?

A ball is dropped from a height. If it takes 1 s to cross the last 55 m before hitting the ground, find the height from which it was dropped.
