I released the fastball 6.05 feet in front of the pitcher's rubber. From the pitcher's rubber to home plate is 60.5 feet. When hunters fire their rifles perfectly horizontal, the bullets fall to the ground in the same time interval that they fall when dropped from the same height.
Horizontal velocities have no effect on gravity's downward acceleration force.
The fastball study pitch serves as an example. Three ballistic projectile formulas provide the answers. The fastball remained in the air for 0.54 seconds. Ballistic Projectile Total Horizontal Distance Calculation 1. 71.22 feet Disregarding air molecule deceleration, the fastball traveled 71.22 feet.
