Problem 92
Projectile Motion A baseball is hit at an angle of \(\theta\) with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of \(v_{0}=100\) feet per second. An outfielder catches the ball 300 feet from home plate (see figure). Find \(\theta\) when the range \(r\) of a projectile is given by $$r=\frac{1}{32} v_{0}^{2} \sin 2 \theta$$
Problem 98
Angle Between Two Lines In Exercises 97 and 98 , use the figure, which shows two lines whose equations, are \(y_{1}=m_{1} x+b_{1}\) and \(y_{2}=m_{2} x+b_{2} .\) Assume that both lines have positive slopes. Derive a formula for the angle between the two lines. Then use your formula to find the angle between the given pair of lines. \(y=x\) and \(y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} x\)
