A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 14 m high, located 132 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 37° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. (Assume that the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.)Find(a) the initial speed of the ball (b) the time it takes to reach the wall and (c) the velocity components and the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall.( assume the ball was hit at a height of 1 m above the ground. Please show me the steps you take to solve this. Thank you.
