Question: Time of flight. Equation 4.26 gives a relation for the time at which a batted baseball lands. Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions

Time of flight. Equation 4.26 gives a relation for the time at which a batted baseball lands. Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions for tlands. (See Appendix B if you don€™t remember the quadratic formula.) Since you are solving a quadratic equation, there are two solutions for tlands. Find numerical values for both solutions and give a physical interpretation of the results. 


Equation 4.26

(vo sin 0)tjands - żgtíands Ylands = 0 = h +
