Answer:
The speed of player is given by
Explanation:
The time of flight for a projectile motion is given by
(i)
where t is the time of flight, v is the initial speed, and α is the angle.
Now the person must also reach the impact point of ball in the same time as above.
Now the total distance D the player needs to cover is basically R horizontal range of projectile minus the distance d, range R is given by,
Now the distance the player must cover is given by
D= R-d
D= - d
(ii)
Now the average speed of player is given by
(iii)
Replacing the values of D and T from eq. (i) and (ii) in eq. (iii).
