Answer:

770.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity (v) = 45.3 m/s

Time (t) = 17 s

Displacement (d) =?

Velocity is defined according to the following formula:

Velocity = Displacement /Time

With the above formula, we can obtain the displacement of the ball as follow:

Velocity = Displacement /Time

45.3 = Displacement / 17

Cross multiply

Displacement = 45.3 × 17

Displacement = 770.1 m

Therefore the displacement of the ball is 770.1 m
