A child is trying to throw a ball over a fence. She gives the ball an initial speed of 8.0 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.0 m above the ground and the fence is 2.0 m high

The ball just clears the fence while still traveling upwards and experiences no significant air resistance. How far is the child from the fence? A) 0.73 m
B) 1.6 m
C) 2.7 m
D) 3.8 m
E) 7.5 m
