To determine how far the baseball has traveled horizontally and how much it has fallen vertically after 0.25 seconds, we can use the equations of motion.
Given:
Initial horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
Time
To find the horizontal distance traveled (x), we can use the equation:
x = u * t
Substituting the given values:
x = 20 m/s * 0.25 s = 5 meters
Therefore, the baseball has traveled 5 meters horizontally after 0.25 seconds.
To find the vertical distance fallen (y), we can use the equation for vertical motion under constant acceleration:
y = (1/2) * g * t^2
Where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2).
Substituting the given values:
y = (1/2) * 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.25 s)^2 = 0.30625 meters
Therefore, the baseball has fallen approximately 0.30625 meters vertically after 0.25 seconds.
