    Answer:

    x = 46.54m

    Explanation:

    In order to find the length of the incline you use the following formula:

    x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2      (1)

    vo: initial speed of the soccer ball = 0 m/s

    t: time

    a: acceleration

    You first use the the fact that the ball traveled 22 m in 2.2 s. Whit this information you can calculate the acceleration a from the equation (1):

    22m=\frac{1}{2}a(2.2s)^2\\\\a=9.09\frac{m}{s^2}      (2)

    Next, you calculate the distance traveled by the ball for t = 3.2 s (one second later respect to t = 2.2s). The values of the distance calculated is the lenght of the incline:

    x=\frac{1}{2}(9.09m/s^2)(3.2s)^2=46.54m       (3)

    The length of the incline is 46.54 m
