the angle of elevation necessary for a hit ball to just clear the center field fence is not the only factor that goes into determining whether the ball clears the fence what might be some other determining factors, and how do they play a role on the ball’s final destination? Provide at least two other determining factors

Answer:

Explanation:

Along with the angle of elevation, the initial velocity of the ball will determine how far and how high it goes.

Also, the initial height that the ball is hit from, as well as the horizontal distance from the fence, will affect whether the ball clears the fence.

There's also the acceleration of gravity, but here on Earth, that doesn't change much near the surface.
