If someone wants to pull out a stopwatch, we could tell for sure but most esitmates put it between 3 and 4 seconds. So, I'd feel pretty comfortable saying that science puts it closer to 40 feet. |
I read somewhere that is was 2.36 seconds. (Or thereabouts - I don't recall the exact digits after the decimal point. Even if it was 2.5s, it is 25 feet.)
From what I recall, that figure was posted by someone who has a history of quality posts, so I accepted their determination of ~ 2.5s.
What does
your stopwatch say about the length of time that the ball was in the air?
