The distance that the ball was able to travel at a given time is calculated through the equation,
d = Vot + (1/2)(g)(t²)
Then, we substitute the known values from the given above,
d = (-18.2 m/s)(1 s) + 0.5(-9.8 m/s²)(1 s)²
d= -23.1 m
Thus, the distance traveled by the ball after an hour is equal to 23.1 m
ANSWER: 23.1 m
