A fly ball is hit to the outfield during a baseball game. Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. Calculate the horizontal distance the baseball travels before landing on the ground at y = 0. (Write only the numerical value rounded to a whole number and exclude the unit)
