A baseball is hit from a height of 4.6 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 174 feet per second and at an angle of 41 ° above the horizontal. What is the maximum height reached by the baseball? Neglect air resistance. The fence at the edge of the field is 9.5 feet tall and located 390 feet from home plate.

Will the ball pass over the fence? No Yes
