Question

* The lob in tennis is an eff ective tactic when your opponent is
near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his head, forcing him to
move quickly away from the net (see the drawing). Suppose that you
lob the ball with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s, at an angle of 50.08 above
the horizontal. At this instant your opponent is 10.0 m away from the
ball. He begins moving away from you 0.30 s later, hoping to reach

15.0 m/s
2.10 m
50.0°
10.0 m
the ball and hit it back at the moment that it is 2.10 m above its launch
point. With what minimum average speed must he move? (Ignore the
fact that he can stretch, so that his racket can reach the ball before he
does.)
