You won a contest to spend a day with a baseball team during spring training. You are allowed to try to hit some balls thrown by a pitcher. Estimate the acceleration during the hit of a fastball thrown by a major league pitcher when you hit the ball squarely

A golfer hit the ball at an elevation of 20 degrees with the level ground; it landed 125 ft away. He hit the ball again with the same speed, but at 70 degrees elevation, so as to clear a tree. How far away did the ball hit the second time?

a baseball is hit at ground level. the ball is observed to reach its maximum height avove ground level 3.0 s after being hit. 2.5 s after reaching this maximum height, the ball is observed to barely clear a fence 97.5 m where it was hit. How high is the fence?
