Answer

The ball lands a distance of $~~8.9~m~~$ beyond the fence.

Work Step by Step

The ball travels a horizontal distance of $97.5~m$ in a time of $5.5~s$ We can find $v_x$: $v_x = \frac{97.5~m}{5.5~s} = 17.73~m/s$ Since the ball reaches the maximum height in $3.0~s$, the total time of flight is $6.0~s$ We can find the total horizontal distance the ball travels: $x = (17.73~m/s)(6.0~s) = 106.4~m$ We can find the distance beyond the fence where the ball lands: $d = 106.4~m-97.5 = 8.9~m$ The ball lands a distance of $~~8.9~m~~$ beyond the fence.
