Answer: 0.145 seconds
Explanation:
Given that Roger Clemens could routinely throw a fastball at a horizontal speed of 119.7 m/s. How long did the ball take to reach home plate 17.3 m away
Since the speed is horizontal
Using the formula for speed which is
Speed = distance/time
Where
Speed = 119.7 m/s
Distance covered = 17.3 m
Time is what we are looking for
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
119.7 = 17.3/ time
Make time the subject of formula
Time = 17.3 / 119.7
Time = 0.145 seconds.
Therefore, it will take 0.145 seconds to reach the home plates
