In college softball, the distance from the pitcher's mound to the batter is 43 feet.
If the ball leaves the bat at 105 mph, how much time elapses between the hit and the ball reaching the pitcher?
I figured out how many ft there would be in a second, but I'm not so sure where to go from there. I know it's 154 ft/s
43ft / (154ft/s) = 0.279s
To determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the pitcher, we can divide the distance traveled by the speed.
Given:
Distance = 43 feet
Speed = 154 feet per second
To find the time, divide the distance by the speed:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 43 ft / 154 ft/s
Now we can calculate the time taken for the ball to reach the pitcher.
Time = 0.2792 seconds (approximately)
Therefore, it takes approximately 0.2792 seconds for the ball to reach the pitcher after it leaves the bat.
