A baseball is hit at the ground level. the ball reaches its maximum height above the ground level 3.0 s after being hit. Then 2.5 s after reaching its maximum height, the ball barely clears a fence that is 97.5 m from where it was hit. Assume the ground is level. a) What maximum height above ground level is reached by the ball? b) How high is the fence? c) How far beyond the fence does the ball strike the ground?
