KillGorack / Physics 2010 / A baseball leaves the bat with a speed of 44.0 m/s and an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. A 5.0- m-high fence is located at a horizontal distance of 132 m from the point where the ball is struck. Assuming the ball leaves the bat 1.0 m above ground level, by how much does the ball clear the fence?

The following physics responses are provided by a student and, as such, should be considered in that context. While every effort is made for accuracy, absolute correctness cannot be fully guaranteed.
