a baseball pitcher can pitch a baseball at a speed of 80mph at what angle relative to the horizontal would the ball's initial velocity need to be directed so that it passes over home plate at the same height as when the ball was released by the pitcher given that home plate is 60 ft and 6 in away?

A pitcher fires a 92.5 mph fastball right over home plate. The batter makes firm contact with a wooden bat with density .6725 g/cm^3 and drives the baseball high into left field. The ball leaves the bat a height 3ft 6.25in above home plate at an angle of 62.125degrees above horizontal and with a speed of 87.15mph. In this particular direction, the outfield fence is 417ft from home plate and exactly 8ft in height. a. What is the maximum height...
