Question:

A baseball leaves the pitcher's hand with horizontal velocity of \(90 \mathrm{mph}\) and travels a distance of \(45 \mathrm{ft}\). Neglect air drag and gravity, so the ball moves in a horizontal plane. The ball has a mass of \(5 \mathrm{oz}\), a circumference of 9 in., a rotational speed of \(1600 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min}\), and a baseball lift coefficient of 0.75. How far does the baseball "break" in the horizontal plane in \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), still air?
