How High? How Fast? Date: 07/17/2002 at 13:12:51 From: Brian
King Subject: baseball falling to earth Suppose you could throw
a baseball straight up into the air at 100 m.p.h. How high would
the ball go on a wind free day? And how fast would the ball be
moving when it returned to earth? Date: 07/17/2002 at 21:25:12
From: Doctor Ian Subject: Re: baseball falling to earth Hi
Brian, Do you want to ignore friction caused by air resistance?
For example, if you were on the moon, the ball would come back
with the same speed it had when it left. Is that what you wanted
to know? - Doctor Ian, The Math Forum

Brian King Subject: baseball falling to earth I would like to
know what would happen on earth without any wind blowing just
gravity pull on the ball. If you were on the moon there is not
enough gravity to pull the ball back to the moon so how could
you test this theory? Date: 07/18/2002 at 07:35:45 From: Doctor
