The distance traveled by the ball in feet is 66 ft.

The given parameters;

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed of the ball in feet per second is calculated as follows;

$v = \frac{15 \ miles}{hour} \times \frac{5280 \ ft}{1 \ mile} \times \frac{1 \ hour}{3600 \ s} = 22 \ ft/s$

The distance traveled by the ball in feet is calculated as follows;

Distance = speed x time

Distance = 22 ft/s x 3 s

Distance = 66 ft

Thus, the distance traveled by the ball in feet is 66 ft.
