Physics in throwing a base ball

Every time you throw a base ball you are using physics. When the ball is launched at an angle it is given a horizontal and vertical velocity. The force of gravity pulls on it at -9.81m/s^2 the entire time it goes up and pulls on it a positive 9.81m/s^2 the entire time it comes down. This force only works in the vertical direction the acceleration in the horizontal direction is zero. If the ball is timed from the time it left your hand to the time it hit the ground you can find the angle it was launched at which was hopefully 45 degrees because that gives it the maximum distance. and you can also find how high it flew. there is a lot of physics in baseball
