Question
How does the knowledge of projectile help, a player in the baseball game?
✓
Answer
In the baseball game, a player has to throw a ball so that it goes a certain distance in the minimum time. The time would depend on velocity of ball and angle of throw with the horizontal. Thus, while playing a baseball game, the speed and angle of projection have to be adjusted suitably so that the ball covers the desired distance in minimum time. So, a player has to see the distance and air resistance while playing with a baseball game.
