Exercise 11

A baseball is struck by a bat 46 cm from the axis of rotation when the angular velocity of the bat is 70 rad/s. If the ball is hit at a height of 1.2 m at a 45° angle, will the ball clear a 1.2 m fence 110 m away? (Assume that the initial linear velocity of the ball is the same as the linear velocity of the bat at the point at which it is struck.)
