In a baseball game, the batboy, after hitting the ball runs towards the first base, a distance of 27 m away. The ball was caught by the short stop team member 30 m away from the first base after 1 second and throws immediately the ball to the first base at a velocity of 45 m/s. Assume a horizontal path for the ball. What is the minimum velocity the batboy should run to reach safe the first base?   a.12 m/s b.30 m/s c.16.2 m/s d.45 m/s
