To score a 3-point field goal in the game of football, the place kicker must kick the ball between the uprights and above the 10-foot high cross-bar, which are located in the end zone of the football field.

A ball is positioned 43 yards from the end zone, where the place kicker will attempt to kick a field goal.

The flight of the ball is parabolic, the maximum height reached by the ball is 23 yards above the turf, and the ball lands 1.5 yards behind the uprights.

Will the football clear the cross-bar and be a successful field goal?
