Calculate how fast was the ball travelling

Reference no: EM13511071

A 80.0 kg football player leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 23.2 inches off the ground. He hits the ground 1.36 inches away from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball travelling?
