If the average pitcher is releasing the ball from a height of 1.8 m above the ground, and the pitcher's mound is 0.2 m higher than the rest of the baseball field, at what height would the catcher need to hold his glove to catch the pitched ball? (Note: neglect air resistance, estimate the acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2, and assume the pitcher is only throwing the ball horizontally.) A. 2.0 m above the groundB. 1.8 m above the groundC. 0.5 m above the groundD. 0.2 m above the ground

    Answer: A. 2.0m above ground

    Explanation:

    Height of the pitcher from the floor of his mound = 1.8m

    Height of the mound above the rest of the field = 0.2m

    Since the height difference between the mound and the ground the catcher stands on = 0.2m and the pitcher throws the ball horizontally, then the catcher has to hold his glove at (1.8 + 0.2) m

    above ground.

    = 2.0m above ground (option A)
