A baseball bat strikes a ball at an angular velocity of 70 rad/s. At the instant of impact the ball is 0.3 m from the axis of rotation in the shoulder. Suppose that the ball is struck at a 30o angle directed upward.
How high will the ball go up in the air? How far will the ball travel horizontally?(Assume that the initial linear velocity of the ball is the same as the linear velocity of the club where it strikes the ball. Also, neglect the height of the ball at the moment it is hit.)
