Question:

Ignoring air drag, calculate the speeds (in m/s) and angles at which a baseball must leave the bat in order to clear an outfield wall 15 ft high and 400 feet. The ball is launched from 2 feet above home plate. (Pardon the English units – they are still used in this sport.) There are many possible solutions. Now assess the minimum speed (hence launched at the optimal angle) to achieve this homerun. Discuss how this will differ when one incorporates drag into the calculation.
