I'm working on a physics problem, which seems to be a "changing y" problem. However, it feels like something is missing from the question...can someone point it out to me? Here's the original question:
"When Babe Ruth hit a homer over the 12 m high right field fence 100m from home plate, roughly what was the minimum speed of the ball when it left the bat? Asume the ball was hit 1.0 m above the ground and its path initially made a 40 degree angle with the ground."
IF this was a changing Y problem, I would assume: Dy = 11m, Dx = 100m, Initial Vx = Initial V[(cos400], Initial Vy = Initial V[(sin400], a = -9.8 m/s^2.
Is there something I'm just missing? Please help!
