Final answer:

In soccer, a goalie can take unlimited steps in their own penalty area but must release the ball within six seconds. For basketball, the term '3 point arch' applies, and players cannot take more than two steps without dribbling. Projectile motion can be used to determine if a soccer ball can travel 95 m without touching the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be mixing elements of soccer and basketball rules. However, in relation to soccer, a goalie, also known as a goalkeeper, is allowed to take unlimited steps inside his or her own penalty area as long as they are holding the ball for no more than six seconds. The concept of a '3 point arch' is from basketball and does not apply to soccer. If we consider the question in the context of basketball, there is still no restriction on how many steps a player, including the goalkeeper in a metaphorical sense, can take inside the three-point arc, but they must dribble the ball if they take more than two steps without passing or shooting the ball. In physics-related content loaded, if a goalkeeper kicks a soccer ball with a speed of 30 m/s, this could theoretically cover a distance of 95 m without the ball touching the ground, depending on the angle of the kick and assuming optimal conditions such as no air resistance. This involves calculations based on projectile motion principles.
