To win the game, a place kicker must kick a
football from a point 22 m (24.0592 yd) from
the goal, and the ball must clear the crossbar,
which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball
leaves the ground with a speed of 17 m/s at
an angle of 59.4 from the horizontal.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
By how much vertical distance does the ball
