Chapter 8, Problem 8.6.28

(choose chapter or problem)

In 1974 in Anaheim, California, Nolan Ryan threw a baseball at just over 100 mph. If he had thrown the ball straight upward at this speed, it would have risen to a height of over 335 feet and taken just over 9 seconds to fall back to Earth. Choose another planet and see what would have happened if he had been able to throw a baseball straight up at 100 mph on that planet. In your computations, use the table for the acceleration due to gravity on other planets from Explore & Extend 8.6 on p. 526.
