The horizontal distance the golf ball traveled can be calculated using the equation:
Range = (velocity^2 * sin(2*angle)) / gravity
Range = (43.3^2 * sin(2*12)) / 9.81
Range = (1878.89 * sin(24)) / 9.81
Range = (1878.89 * 0.40) / 9.81
Range = 751.556 / 9.81
Range ≈ 76.64 meters
Therefore, the golf ball traveled approximately 76.64 meters.
