Question

The “strike zone" or distance across home plate is 17 inches. Determine how
long a baseball pitched at 90 mph is in the strike zone. *

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0107 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The time the ball is in the strike zone will be the time it takes to cross the 17 inches across the home plate.

Distance the ball will travel = 17 inches

Speed of the ball = 90 mph = $90\times \dfrac{63360}{3600}=1584\ \text{inches/s}$

Time is given by

$\text{Time}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}\\ =\dfrac{17}{1584}\\ =0.0107\ \text{s}$

Time the ball is in the strike zone is 0.0107 seconds.
