Answer with explanation:
Since the motion of the ball is projectile motion we shall use the equations for projectile motion.
The maximum height achieved by the projectile is given by
Applying the values we get
The range of the projectile is given by
Applying values we get
thus the maximum horizontal distance reached by the ball equals 7.339 meters after which it bounces thus a person standing 8 meters away will not be able to catch it.
(The height of the players is not taken into account since no info is given about their height.)
