Answer :
The time it takes for a pitch to travel from the mound to home plate is 0.41 seconds
How to determine how long does it take for a pitch to travel from the mound to home plate?
The given parameters are
Rate of clocking = 100.8 mi/hr
Distance = 60.5 feet
The time it takes for a pitch to travel from the mound to home plate is calculated as
Rate of clocking = Distance/Time
Where
Rate of clocking = 100.8 mi/hr
Distance = 60.5 feet
Convert feet to miles
So, we have
Distance = 60.5/5280 miles
Substitute the known values in the above equation
So, we have
100.8 = 60.5/5280/Time
This gives
Time = (60.5/5280)/100.8
Evaluate
Time = 0.00011367394
Convert to seconds
So, we have
Time = 0.41
Hence, the time it takes for a pitch to travel from the mound to home plate is 0.41 seconds
