Abaseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 40.6 m/s. a catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. find the magnitude of the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher. ignore air resistance.

Hitting can be broken down into three segments; SEE, REACT, SWING. You watch the ball in the pitcher's hand during the windup and you watch the ball leave the pitcher's hand when it is thrown and you watch the spin of the ball as it comes towards the plate. That is SEE. You determine what the pitch is (fastball, curveball, etc.), you determine where the ball is going to go and you determine whether it is headed towards an area that you think you can get good wood on it. That is REACT. You swing if you like the pitch or don't swing if you don't like the pitch. That is SWING. It doesn't make any difference whether you are playing with a tennis ball or a golf ball or a baseball. The theory and mechanics are the same. So, to answer your question I would say the more you practice the better you will be, regardless of the type of ball you use to practice with.

Ohm's law tells you that i = v/r where v is equivalent voltage and r is equivalent resistance of the circuit
since all circuits have the same voltage, your question is really asking which circuit has the lowest total resistance, since the lower the resistance, the higher the current
circuit a has a resistance of 5 ohms; circuit c is in series so has a resistance of 10 ohms; circuit b is in parallel and therefore has a resistance of 2.5 ohms (review your notes on adding resistances in parallel and series); therefore b has the highest current

When seismic waves hit a fault, the waves are reflected off the fault. seismograph can detect these reflected seismic waves. geologists then use these data to map the fault's length and depth
