I am trying to find formulas for the following 2 problems:

(1) To calculate the exit speed of a hit ball (assume sea level
and no wind). My variables are pitch speed, swing speed
and how much energy is lost in the transfer. Does anyone
know where I can find such a formula?

(2) Assuming I know the exit speed, the formula for the
distance a ball will travel. My variables are launch angle and
exit speed, I believe.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can direct me to the right
place.
