$A$ player kicks a football at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal with an initial speed of $30 \,ms^{-1}$. $A$ second player, standing at a distance of $21 \sqrt{3} \,m$ from the first player in the direction of the kick, starts running to catch the ball at the same instant it is kicked. What is the minimum speed of the second player to catch the ball before it hits the ground? (Take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

  • A
    $10 \,ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $8 \,ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $8 \sqrt{3} \,ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $15 \sqrt{3} \,ms^{-1}$

The figure shows a sphere of mass $500 \ g$ moving in a steady flow of air in the $x$-direction. The air-stream exerts an essentially constant force of $0.9 \ N$ on the sphere in the $x$-direction.
