Where does sunlight hit earth at close to a 90 degree angel?
Along the equator.
What happen to horizontal distance and flying time when you increase the launching angle at 30 degree?
It will increase until you hit 45 degrees and the it will begin to drop.
What the affects the angle at which the suns rays hit earth?
The light from the sun travels in a straight line, and we can assume the light rays to be parellel. The angle of incidence on the earths rounded surface depends on where you are on the earth and what time it is. Mid-day on the equator and the rays would hit the ground straight on. Further to the north or south, or later/earlier in the day and the light rays would hit at more of angle. The rays would also have to penitrate more of the earths atmosphere as the angle increases, which takes more `strength` out of the sun.
What is the velocity of the ball when it left the bat if it was hit at a 45 degree angle and just cleared the outfield fence 98 meters away?
30.990 metres/sec
How does angle affect the distance of a projectile?
yes it does. you see if you have it set up at a a 90 degree angle it will go further than it would of a 10 degree angle A projectile leaving the ground at an angle of 45 degrees will attain the maximum range. Fire it straight up and it will fall back to its launch location (wind effects etc. ignored). Fire it horizontally and it will hit the ground very much the same time as if it was dropped from its launch platform at the same time. That would not be very far.
