2. Abaseball is hit as it comes in, 1.30 m over the plate. The blast sends it off at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal with a speed of 45.0 m/s. The outfield fence is 100.0 m away and 11.3 m high. Ignoring aefodynamic effects, will the ball clear the fence? (25.5m vertical displacement - it clears the fence)
